Byway Bandana begins with a garter tab cast on (instructions included in pattern) and continues with traditional triangle shawl increases along both edges and in the center. Easy slipped stitch mosaic colorwork, textured stripes and plain stockinette sections give visual interest and keep you cruising through this quick worsted weight project.

Wear it over your shoulders or wrapped as a large bandana. Versatile and eye catching, pair two colors of smooshy M1 Yarns Urban Cowgirl worsted for subtle or high contrast.

Byway Bandana can travel with your everywhere, whether you enjoy big highways or roads less travelled.

I collaborated with M1 Yarns for a truly Michigan inspired accesory. This Detroit based hand dyed yarn company honors Motor City heritage with regionally inspired colors.
