Knit Bandola one of two ways - with a knitted-on beaded lace border for those that like to challenge their needles, or keep it Simpola with an integrated border.

The Bandola pattern has an almost hour long video tutorial… CHECK IT OUT!

This classic neck scarf starts with a garter stitch square and is knit tip-to-tip with an accent of lace. Once the center square is complete, stitches are picked up all the way around to begin the border. The original version has lace weight wool as the center square and sport weight for the lace border and the Simpola version is the opposite with sport in the center and lace for the border.
