MATERIALS

Purl Soho’s Cotton Pure, 100% organically grown cotton yarn. Each skein of this sport-weight yarn is 279 yards/ 100 grams.

  • Main Color (MC): 1 skein; approximately 279 total yards required. We used the colors Apple Cider, Heirloom White, and Alabaster Cream for our three samples.

  • Contrast Color (CC): 1 skein; approximately 35 total yards required. We used Alabaster Cream with MC Apple Cider, Honey Yellow with MC Heirloom White, and Mineral Blue with MC Alabaster Cream.

  • US 3 (3.25 mm), 32-inch circular knitting needles

NOTE: We used every last yard of MC for our bandanas. To avoid running short, we recommend gauge swatching with your CC and keeping the tail short when you join your MC. Or consider ordering an extra skein of MC. If you don’t end up needing it, you can return unwound yarn for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details!
