Bandangle, and Load your (Tapestry) Needle


Hello sweet Bandangle!

The simple pattern was born from my love of floral Bandana Borders.

The knitted fabric lent itself to creating the shape as folded; just an angle.


 The fabric is similar on either side - mark the RS edge with a bold and removable marker, 
and move it up as your Bandangle grows in length.


Here is the completed design with the eyelet blooms around all three edges -
 ready to work the stretchiest bind-off, Elizabeth Zimmermann's Sewn Bind Off.  
Because this technique requires a very long tail, 
I recommend folding the yarn a few times to shorten each pull.



We folded the border over before tying it around the neck of beautiful Nichole.


When completed, wet block; expand the bound off edge as wide as possible! 

To store, roll from the point up toward the bound-off edge, 
this will keep the fabric wrinkle-free and relaxed.
.





Thank you, enjoy your own Bandangle 💙
I'm casting on another in red this time...
