Simple Knit Bandana




Simple Knit Handkerchief

This handkerchief is ideal for beginner knitters who just want something different to knit. The pattern provided is made for a solid color handkerchief, but the one in the picture has a pink stripe because I did not have enough yarn to finish it in purple. This can be done, if desired, by changing yarn while knitting your project. Enjoy!
