The Bestie Bandana is a light-weight square bandana with a simple lace design. It is worked from corner to corner, beginning at one end, increasing at each edge until its final width, creating a triangle. From there, it is decreased at each edge and worked to a point. The pattern has both charted and written instructions, and is a great project for any knitter who knows the basics! You can wear it as a true bandana, head scarf, or ascot!
