Coffee Break

$5.00

Coffee Break is a simple bandana cowl that is comfort knitting at its best. Relaxing and rhythmic garter stitch is paired with a simple yet interesting construction, creating a knitting experience that is both soothing and satisfying (just like a good afternoon coffee break!)

Knit from the top-down, you start just as you would a shawl, working back and forth and beginning the shaping process. Then ends are joined together and piece is worked in the round just like a cowl, but with additional shaping to create the bandana-like look.

The end result is a bandana cowl that not only makes a lovely little accessory (that stays nicely on your neck) but is also so versatile to knit, with a menu of different options you could consider.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
