Inspired by vintage circus tents, this bandana really pops with its 2-color striped i-cord edging and festive florets. It is worked from widest end to narrowest point and comes in two sizes. While designed with assigned pooling in mind, simple tonals or vibrant variegated would be just as beautiful.
