Some beautiful options are, from the top: Lorna's Laces Shepherd's Worsted in Firefly, Madeline Tosh's Tosh Merino in Butter, Manos' Maxima in Highlighter, Anzula's Inyo in Au Natural, Brooklyn Tweed's Shelter in Fossil, and Cascade's Eco Cloud in Silver Mink.
The Pattern
Gauge
4 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch

Finished Size
19 inches in circumference and 12 inches from top to bottom.

Pattern Notes
S2KPO: Slip 2 stitches together knitwise, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch. (This makes a centered double decrease.)

Begin
Cast on 89 stitches.

Place a marker and join for working in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

Set-up Round: Purl.

Round 1: K43, S2KPO (see Pattern Note, above), knit to end of round. (87 stitches)

Round 2: P42, S2KPO, purl to end of round. (85 stitches)

Round 3: K41, S2KPO, knit to end of round. (83 stitches)

Round 4: P40, S2KPO, purl to end of round. (81 stitches)

The next section is worked back and forth in short rows, turning the work between each row instead of continuing around the needle. For a great Short Row Tutorial, click here!

Row 5: K42, wrap and turn.

Row 6: P3, wrap and turn.

Row 7: Knit to the wrapped stitch, knit the wrapped stitch making sure to pick up the wrap, k1, wrap and turn.

Row 8: Purl to the wrapped stitch, purl the wrapped stitch making sure to pick up the wrap, p1, wrap and turn

Repeat Rows 7 and 8 until three stitches remain between wraps, wrap and turn. (81 stitches)

You've finished the short rows!

Next Round: With the knit side facing you, knit to the marker, making sure to pick up the wrapped stitches.

Continue with the knit side facing you, working again in the round and knit 2 rounds.

Set-up Round: K18, place marker, k45, place marker, knit to end of round.

Decrease Round: Knit to two stitches before the first marker, k2tog, slip marker, knit to the next marker, slip marker, ssk, knit to end of round. (2 stitches decreased)

Knit 3 rounds.

Repeat the last 4 rounds five more times. (69 stitches)

Knit until your work measures 11 inches from the tip of the cast on point.

Next Round: Purl

Next Round: Knit

Repeat the last 2 rounds once more.

Bind off very loosely in purl. (I like to go up several needle sizes to bind off. In this case, I bound off with a US #15 needle.)

Weave in your ends and block if you desire. Blocking isn't strictly necessary for this project, but it significantly improves the drape and softness of the yarn. I'm personally convinced that Soak wash makes anything short of a Brillo Pad feel next-to-the-skin cuddly!

Enjoy your Bandana Cowl on all the brisk fall days to come! --Erin
