This knit bandana is a quick and satisfying project that’s perfect when you want to make something pretty, wearable, and useful without committing to a larger project. It’s small enough to take with you on the go, and because it uses sport weight yarn, it’s still comfortable to knit during the warmer months.

The triangle-shaped bandana scarf is knit flat in rows, starting with just three stitches and gradually increasing to create the shape. A small lace detail along the edges adds just enough interest to make the finished bandana look next level, without making the pattern feel overwhelming.

You can wear this knit bandana in your hair, tied around your neck, or tucked into your bag as a cute handmade accessory. It’s also a great project for using a special skein of yarn, and once you make one, you may find yourself wanting to cast on another in a different colour.
