The Puffs N Picots Badana Cowl

I’ll admit it. I have fallen in love with the Forked Cluster Stitch. Since using it in the Crossroads Sweater pattern, I knew I needed to create another design with it, so I paired it with the Puff Stitch to make this beautiful cowl.
This is the Puffs N Picots Bandana Cowl. I love the dimension and texture that the Forked Cluster and Puff stitches lend to this piece. The Puffs N Picots Bandana Cowl is so easy to make and comfortable to wear. Additionally,the thick, fluffy stitches make it warm without being too hot for the cool fall months.

This pattern includes tutorials for the Forked Cluster Stitch and the Puff Stitch.
