When everything is coming up daisies, our free Beautiful Day Bandana knitting pattern is a charming expression of the day! Cast on with two of our lightest, floatiest, most favorite yarns: Cattail Silk and Tussock.
- One-row stripes of these two fingering-weight yarns create mesmerizing shifts in color and texture. And on slightly larger-than-normal needles, they knit up into a gossamer fabric with a captivating translucence that lets the light of a beautiful day shine through.
- The fabric has an ethereal halo thanks to Tussock’s mohair content, while intriguing nubs of color from Cattail Silk, our 100% mulberry silk beauty, add an appealing texture. The silk in both yarns brings a glowing luster and elegant drape. Stunning!
- To make your bandana, you’ll knit a generous stockinette stitch square, which you can fold into a triangle and toss over your shoulders. The fabric is so light that even a double layer won’t weigh you down in the slightest!
Our 9 Beautiful Day Bandana Bundles give you a selection of lovely color options, and your Beautiful Day Bandana will make every day you wear it… well, more beautiful!
