Roadrunner

Details

I wanted something fun and fast. So fast I called it Roadrunner.

There is also a lighter version of this knit in cotton DK

Plus it helps me to whittle down my stash. Then I can buy more….

Roadrunner is a quick and simple bandana style cowl that will show off any colour you choose.

The cowl is knit flat in a modified rectangular shape and then seamed together to join it into a circular neck opening. The decorative points are part of each row as you knit. So simple!

Suitable for all skill levels including experienced beginners.

Finished Measurements: After gentle blocking: neck opening is 61cm/24”. From midpoint of long side to
tip is 38cm/15”. Back of neck seam is 7.5cm/3”.
(Measurements are approximate).

Gauge: Before blocking: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10cm/4” square in stocking stitch. There is very little leftover
yarn so gauge is important for this pattern.
