This cozy brioche-knit bandana works up flat, and progresses like a comforting mini-shawl. This project might be easier than it sounds, since it’s knit flat and the open brioche is just one color.

Use a contrast color to highlight the i-cord bindoff, or knit this all in one skein of soft lightweight yarn. The sample was made with Hedgehog Fibres Oh So Fine Merino in Cinder and UFO colorways.
