PATTERN NOTES
Both Bandanas are worked flat from the top down. If you wish to make either Bandana smaller or larger than the suggested sizes, simply work less or more rows in the established pattern. If you wish to make the straps shorter or longer, simply work less or more starting chains in the Bandana Strap section.

The amount of yarn called for is enough to make one of each Bandana. If you wish to alter the size of your Bandana as described above, you may wish to purchase more yarn as insurance.

The instructions call for you to place a removable stitch marker in the center stitch of the Linen Stitch Bandana. You may also wish to place a removable stitch marker in the center chains of the Granny Stitch Bandana, although the center of this Bandana is more distinct, and the pattern will not give instructions for the placement of the marker.
