Overview
The bandana is knitted back and forth to form a triangular shape. The cords are then knitted along the edge, seamlessly forming an i-cord edge as you go.

Sizes
You can knit a bandana for any head size by adjusting the number of rows.

Yarn Suggestions
You can use any yarn and the appropriate hook. I recommend natural plant fibers in light colors, perfect for summer. Look for yarns made from cotton, linen, viscose, or bamboo.
Yarn used: 50 grams of 100% cotton, 250 m 270 yards in 100 g.

Optional: 3.5 mm US4 double-pointed needles - for working i-cord.
