I truly believe that you can create any project you want. But let’s be honest, sometimes a big project can be overwhelming. The best thing to do when something is overwhelming is to break it down into smaller pieces. That’s what makes the Finnian Bandana so great! It’s a smaller piece of the big and beautiful Finnian Shawl. Work up the bandana pattern, and you’ll master all the skills you need to make the shawl!
