The Novana Bandana is a collaborative design including Team BGS!

The Novana Bandana is the perfect triangular scarf. It’s the ideal accessory to layer up in all seasons and can be work with T-Shirts, sweaters, jackets and coats. It’s the perfect little neck warmer. Knit in just 50g, the Novana Bandana is great for everyday wear and the perfect canvas to showcase edge details and embroidered or duplicate stitch motifs. You’ll want to knit one in as many colors as possible. This version of Novana has a duplicate stitch flower and the chart is included in the pattern.

The Novana Bandana is super easy to knit and perfectly suited as a beginner project. The bandana sized shawl is knit in stockinette, side to side, i.e. you start at the right tip, increase to the widest middle section, and then decrease until the left point is reached.

The bandana can be made from one skein of yarn. The pattern allows for easy adaptation to knit it longer, shorter, wider or narrower from any desired amount of yarn.
