Knit + Fold Bandana In Picnic Cotton
Why should winter scarves have all the fun? Our Knit + Fold Bandana in our new Picnic Cotton is a marvelous take-everywhere accessory for the halcyon days of summer!
With three sizes to choose from you can knit and fold exactly the size and shape bandana that fits your personal brand of adventure, whether that’s out on the town, out in the world, or out back in the hammock.
All you need are knits and purls for this simple stockinette square. Fold it along the diagonal and you’re set to go!
Made in our beautiful new Picnic Cotton, these soft and lightweight Bandanas are as fresh as a daisy! Choose from twelve colors inspired by the sweetness and fun of summer, such as Pink Peppermint, Key Lime, and Summer Hay.
Picnic Cotton is made in Peru from 100% Peruvian Pima cotton, a fiber with an extra-long staple that is famous for being uniquely soft and strong. The two-color structure features delicate, colored threads wrapped around a soft, fluffy core, which knits up into a beautifully marled fabric.
It takes four, five, or six 50-gram skeins of Picnic Cotton to make the three sizes of Knit + Fold Bandana. Whatever the size, pick the color that’s singing your name, and cast on for this summer’s thing you’ll love!
