Half cowl, half bandada, this cowldana will keep your face, neck and chest warm without bunching up around the back of your neck. Perfect for wearing with a coat and keeping yourself snug.

Slipped stitches create pockets of air to keep your face and neck warm, and make this cowldana ideal for handspun yarn which might be a little variable in thickness.

Stitch pattern used in the hat is available in both written and charted formats, though the majority of the instructions are written.

Matching fingerless mitts and hat are available for a coordinated look.
