A polished look can also come from a simple accessory. That’s the case with the knitted bandana we’ll learn to make today. Super easy to create and a symbol of street style, it definitely brightens your day when you want just one piece to elevate your outfit—not too overwhelming but enough to make you feel special.
See how the bandana, worn with a green sahariana jacket, makes everything shine with a brighter light? Have fun wearing it however you like, but first you have to make it!
The yarn chosen for this project is Lagom, made from recycled wool. Beautiful, sustainable, and available in many colors. Hurry to our shop and pick your favorite.
