Bandanas are flexible when you’re on the go: Pull back your hair, wear it around your neck, or even pick up a hot dish while holding one. Commercially produced bandanas have paisley-like prints, but this one has a secret. Its reversible textured knit/purl pattern adds a paisley shape that only you can see as you knit! Use any fingering to DK weight yarn that suits your needs. The sizing is flexible. Choose linen for a breathable option with drape, or wool for a textured winter layer. This square is a quick knit, requiring only knit and purl stitches, and other basic skills. A twisted, slip-stitched edging provides a rustic edge for linen that doesn’t gap. Both written instructions and a beginner’s texture chart are included to form your secret paisley. Add a knit tie with a special button or bead as a finishing touch.
