Knit in a classic knit three-purl three ribbing, this bandana shaped cowl is one of those projects that becomes a staple of your knitted wardrobe. The cowl is knit flat, seamed in the back and buttons can be added for accent. It earns the name “Side Hustle” due to the asymmetrical swish to the side. It stays in place nicely and is the perfect partner to fill that empty triangle in the front of your coat — no more chilly gaps!
