Tater Tots Bandana

Designed for a single skein of yarn, TATER TOTS BANDANA is a quick-knit project that gets you ready for changing weather—whether the leaves are falling or the trees are budding out. This reversible small shawl shows off variegated colors beautifully, making it a perfect project for that special skein of handspun yarn. This sportweight bandana serves as a great transition weight for the autumn season and beyond. A tidy 2-stitch icord borders the piece, and the finished product is totally reversible! Video links are provided for icord cast-on and bind-off used in this pattern.
