Vaquero

Vaquero is an unusually constructed cowl with a bandanna-like point.

For the first 19 years of my life, I thought I didn't care for Westerns. Then I met my husband, and he forced me, Clockwork Orange style, to watch Westerns movies and read Western stories until I loved them. When we had our first baby, we took him to the Autry Museum of the American West, where we all fell in love with the West a little more.

Knitted for my cowboys, Vaquero is simple and classic with lines of slipped stitches and two edging options. Designed for two different yarn weights, Vaquero is incredibly easy to modify; any stitch pattern could be inserted.
