Spring Blossoms Bandana Cowl

We've entered a new period here in South Western Pennsylvania - that time when Mother Nature can't make up her mind.  It's spring, then it's Winter, and sometimes it feels a little like fall in between.  The bamboo leaves that our previous home owner planted, are falling off from the freeze and thaw cycle, and the tree above them has gone to bud - and then lost them.  So with weather being this unpredictable, it's nice to have a light shawl or scarf on hand to keep the chill off of your neck.

This pattern came together as kind of a happy accident.  I saw and fell for the dandelion stitch, and really wanted to incorporate it into a pattern.  Originally I had been planning something in the round and the directions for the stitch are worked flat (later I figured it out through a bit of trial and error).  I also had three skeins of Wool of the Andes™ Tweed from KnitPicks just begging to be used.
