This bandanna was designed for the Tybout House in Warren, Pennsylvania as part of the 2022 Winter Fiber Frolic. Ella Tybout lived at the “little pink house” until her death in 1952. Next to the house was an elaborate sunken garden with a fountain in which Ella spent time musing on nature, the world, and her poetry. The leaves are a tribute to her sunken garden and allow for modification and individualism by adding or subtracting the leaf repeats. This bandanna can be worn either as a kerchief on the head or a sophisticated neck wrap to keep you warm during chilly days in the garden.
