The Alba Bandana is worked from the bottom up, increasing while simultaneously working a basket wave and lace stitch pattern. Once the bandana is completed, stitches are placed on hold and the scarf section is worked in garter stitch. A double-knitted band is then joined to the bandana stitches to finish the piece.
