About This PatternThe Bédélia Bandana pattern uses a Garter Tab Cast on, worked flat from the bottom up and then joined in the round at the base of the neck to complete the bandana in a single piece. A small, three stitch, seam is required at the back base of the neck where the edge stitches come together. Using a combination of slip stitches and a 3-stitch cable, the bandana creates an all-over textured look. It is designed with two sizes, Adult Small, which creates a slightly more fitted look or Adult Large, which provides ample slouch and can be worn straight or with an off shoulder, angular look.
