Supine was born out of a desire to design something using beautiful buttons and yarn. I have admired Cesium Yarn and Twin Mountain Handcrafts for a long time, and I jumped at the opportunity to work with them both. This clever little bandana cowl is worked flat from one side to the other, and a simple combination of stockinette and garter keep this breeze to knit. Three contrast colors play against a main color, yarns with high contrast are recommended, but low contrast is also beautiful! Finish it off with 0.8” buttons and add a fun pop or go with something more subtle.

Designed for kits dyed and put together by Cesium Yarn (highly recommend!) or use leftovers -- choose an MC with at least 50g and three minis, leftovers, or partials that are at least 20g each.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit (thank you testers!)
