Veiga

The Veiga bandana is worked from one tip to the other, first increasing to the halfway point and then decreasing. It’s a perfect opportunity to use up fingering-weight yarn scraps (although you can make it with any yarn weight – this will simply affect the final dimensions) and to learn or practise the intarsia technique.

The pattern includes video tutorials showing each step, as well as guidance on how to twist the yarns both in a striped icord edge and when introducing a new colour in the middle of a row. The result is a fun and engaging knit, with the added satisfaction of using up scraps and learning a range of new techniques.

MATERIALS

• 3.75 mm (US 5) straight or circular needles. Adjust if necessary to achieve gauge – see below.
• 2 markers.
• Optional: removable markers, scrap yarn or stitch holder if you want to do the provisional cast on.

GAUGE

25 stitches and 36 rows in 10 cm / 4 inches after blocking.

Gauge is not important in this pattern but it might affect the final dimensions and amount of yarn used.
