We love a good bandana, and this one ticks a lot of boxes! It’s lightweight both in the knitting and in the wearing, and it’s a fun-to-work slip stitch pattern in an easily memorized eight-row repeat.
Pack one for your travel knitting and take a finished bandana for your vacation wardrobe too—it’s the perfect piece for just a little something plush and colorful around your neck!
