Happy Halloween!

This spider pattern is a collaboration between myself and Lemonwood Fiber Tools. Their minders were the perfect tool for helping me keep my yarn sorted throughout this project, and it has been a joy to work with them. I hope you enjoy this black widow bandana, and learn a little about these fearsomely misrepresented organisms.

Any fingering weight yarn will do for this simple bandana, and (as with many stockinette bandana patterns) with a fairly customizable width. The pattern calls for three different colors so that you can highlight the red abdominal hourglass against the black spider body.
