The Light Bandana is a light minimal bandana in stockinette and with eyelets along the outer edge. The design has been originally created as a spring/summer bandana, although it is very versatile and can be made into a winter version for a scarf as well.

It has 3 versions that you can choose from: plain, with i-cord edge or with double-knit edge. The Plain Version can be as is or by applying an edge when finished (applied crochet or i-cord edge), while the other two versions have an ‘in-built’ edge.
As for the length, you can choose one from the standard sizes or make it into your desired custom length.
