Bird's Eye View Bandana Cowl

The Bird’s Eye View Bandana Cowl was inspired by the perspective of a bird looking down at the windows and lines of a cityscape. Picture yourself strolling through the streets wrapped in this cozy yet featherlight cowl year-round. Made with lightweight yarn and openwork stitches, it’s breathable and sure to become your go-to accessory for every adventure.
