Free Triangle Crochet Bandana Cowl Pattern

This crochet bandana cowl pattern is called the Appalachia Bandana Cowl.

Do you like triangle shawls but not the bulk they can sometimes have when wearing as a scarf?

A crochet bandana cowl is a great substitute for when you want a triangle scarf to wear.

The workup of this crochet bandana cowl is quite simple. The triangle section is worked first and then the cowl section is worked last.

With this specific pattern the bandana section is worked with a 2 row repeat and includes a 2 row edging. The cowl incorporates a fun wave pattern.

Using 2 colors for this bandana scarf is really what makes it more fun and eye catching.

Yarn:

The yarn used for this project is one that I had never tried before. After using it for this pattern it is now a top favorite and I can’t wait to work with it more.

The yarn is Lion Brand LB Collection Superwash Merino. It was a really nice yarn to work with. It is soft and provides very nice stitch definition.

This yarn is a #3 DK Light Worsted weight yarn. It can be on the thinner side of a DK so keep that in mind if substituting. Also, this yarn is 100% superwash merino wool.

This specific green color was one that I received in a Lion Brand Yarn Mystery Box. This color was one I had no idea what I would use it for.

It was a little ugly at first just sitting there in its skein form. Once I started forming a pattern to use it with, the color really grew on me. I am glad I paired it with another color otherwise I may not have liked it as much.
