Ollie Bandana

Ollie Bandana is a simple and elegant scarf with long pointy ends that make it easy to style in a variety of ways. It is the perfect accessory for adding a bit of edge to your outfits while also keeping you warm and cozy on cooler days. Ollie Bandana comes in two sizes. Both sizes follow the same shaping intervals and are worked over the same number of stitches. The size difference is achieved by changing the needle size and adding a strand of Soft Silk Mohair to the Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk when working the largest size. Size Small will have a lighter and more minimal look, while Size Large will be softer and fluffier. The scarf is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch, from wingtip to wingtip. You start from the first tip and work increases until you reach the full width of the scarf. From here, you continue even until shaping the other tip with decreases to mirror the first tip. Please note that where only one number is given, it is applicable to both sizes.
