This is a triangular bandana that is constructed by casting on at an end point and working increases on one side to the center point. Once you have reached the intended depth, you will begin to decrease on the same side to achieve the triangular shape of the bandana.

This is the basic intarsia version of my knitted bandana shape. It contains charts so you can knit the version you see pictured. You can use these charts to customize your own bandana. Move these shapes around, play with color placement, design your own intarsia…
I look forward to seeing how you customize your intarsia bandana!
