Craft on the cross grain with this fun bandana cowl and scarf, both worked sideways and shaped with increases and decreases. This is the perfect introduction to Hybrid Crochet, also known as Tunisian Crochet, which is crocheted with a long hook. This pattern incorporates two of the basic stitch patterns, mostly the simple stitch, with the knit stitch to create a smooth top edge. It is easily adaptable to different sizes and weights of yarn and finished dimensions. Pattern by Kira Dulaney of Kira K Designs.
