Marled Stripes is my new bandana pattern that brings together two of my favorite techniques: marling and striping.

Knit in two strands of lace-weight yarn, this bandana is a quick and fun knit! Marled Stripes is a great beginner-friendly pattern. You will need one skein of the main color, and 5 minis for the contrast colors.

There are a lot of ways to make this design your own, starting with your color choice. You can take things a step further by incorporating color blocking or intarsia, changing the placement of the reverse stockinette, and playing with the size.

I look forward to seeing how you customize your Marled Stripes!
