Bandana
Introducing the Bandana from the Flatlands Collection, featured at the 2017 Manitoba Fibre Festival—your go-to versatile accessory for any occasion!
Bandanas are not just for style; they are incredibly practical for those on the go. Use this unique piece to pull back your hair, wear it around your neck, or even protect your hands while handling hot dishes. While commercially produced bandanas often showcase typical paisley prints, this Bandana design has a delightful secret: its reversible textured knit/purl pattern subtly forms a paisley shape that only you will discover as you knit! This stunning piece showcases Taproot Fibre Lab’s innovative tow linen, which is hand-grown, skillfully processed, and handspun right in Canada. Whether you spin your own yarn or substitute with any fingering to DK weight yarn that suits your personal style, the options are endless. With flexible sizing, you have the freedom to choose linen for a breathable option with beautiful drape or wool for a cozy, textured layer perfect for winter.
This square bandana pattern is a quick and enjoyable knit, requiring only basic knit and purl stitches, making it suitable for beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The included twisted, slip-stitched edging offers a rustic finish that works beautifully with the linen, preventing any annoying gaps. For your convenience, both written instructions and a beginner-friendly texture chart are provided to help you create your own secret paisley design effortlessly.
Whether you’re looking for a stylish accessory to complete your outfit or a functional piece for your daily activities, the Bandana from the Flatlands Collection is the perfect project for you. Dive into the world of knitting with this unique pattern and enhance your accessory collection today!
