Bayshore Bandana Cowl

Have fun mixing colors and yarns with this squishy lace bandana cowl perfect for pairing single skeins with medium to high contrast of color and/or texture. Designed for the 2025 Bay Area Yarn Crawl make-along, this is a quick and fun project that you’ll want to crochet again and again! It’s a nice introduction to Hybrid Crochet, aka Tunisian Crochet, which is worked with a long hook, and there’s a helpful video to get you started. With most yarns you can make two cowls with two skeins, either matching or with opposite color placement.
