A Simple, Airy Stitch Pattern
The bandana is worked using a repeating arch stitch that builds gradually into a triangle.
Because the pattern grows at a steady pace, the shape develops naturally without feeling too steep or bulky. The open spaces between stitches help keep the fabric soft and flexible, especially when using cotton yarn.
It’s a great example of how simple stitches can create a beautiful finished piece.
