Bridge Bandana (Pattern PDF)

Please Note: This product is a PDF pattern, not a physical item.

With a textured mix of garter and stockinette stitch, the Bridge Bandana is an easy but engaging, quick summer project. You’ll begin with the widest part of the bandana by picking up stitches along an I-cord, your rows then become faster to knit as the project progresses and you use decreases to reach the centre point.
