** Ridgeway Crochet Bandana Cowl**

The Ridgeway Crochet Bandana Cowl was designed for the 7th Annual Marly Bird Turkey Trot Make-Along (2025) and quickly became a fan favorite!

This textured, triangle-shaped cowl combines cozy stitches and simple construction to create the look of a shawl with the ease of a cowl — no slipping, no fuss, just effortless style.

Worked flat and then joined, the Ridgeway sits comfortably around your neck like a warm bandana, perfect for layering during chilly weather. It’s approachable for adventurous beginners and satisfying for experienced crocheters looking for a relaxing make.

The pattern is free on MarlyBird.com, with an ad-free PDF upgrade available for purchase.
