Mesa Sunset Cowl (Crochet)

The Mesa Sunset Bandana Cowl captures that magic moment when the sun slips behind the mesa and the whole sky blazes in coral, tangerine, and dusky plum. It's cozy, stylish, and oh-so-easy to wear, whether you tuck it under a denim jacket or show it off over your favorite sweater. This bandana cowl is worked from the bottom up, starting at the point and growing into a snug cowl that slips right over your head. No ties, no pins, no fussing. It stays put and keeps your neck warm all day long. The secret to that gorgeous texture is the Linen Stitch (also called the Moss Stitch). It's a simple two-stitch repeat of single crochet and chain spaces that creates a dense, woven-looking fabric with beautiful drape. Once you settle into the rhythm, you'll find it downright relaxing. And because it's worked with just one cake of self-striping yarn, the stripes do all the colorwork for you. No color changes, no ends to weave in mid-project. Just crochet and watch the sunset unfold!
