ABOUT THE PATTERN
#VENUSBANDANA is worked from the tip upwards in a lace pattern. Stitches are first cast on for the tip, then the piece is worked flat in the lace pattern while increasing at the beginning and end of every row. As stitches are bound off to shape the top edge of the bandana, stitches are also set aside at each corner to work attached i-cord ties.
