Rust & Rhythm Bandana

The Rust & Rhythm Bandana is a playful, triangular scarf which combines a 4 x 2 garter stitch rib with the intarsia technique to create bold and graphical shapes. The pattern includes step-by-step instructions for the intarsia join as well as detailed written instructions on how to increase and decrease within the garter stitch rib pattern. This bandana is a fun way to play with colour combinations and colour placement, as well as exploring the intarsia technique further. The combination of intarsia and the garter stitch rib pattern adds interesting texture to the graphical shapes. **Measurements:** Width: 27,5 cm / 10.75” Length: 133 cm / 52.25” **Yarn** Three strands of a lace-weight mohair or alpaca blend in 4 shades. **MC:** 312m / 341yds **CC1:** 120m / 131yds **CC2:** 144m / 158yds **CC3:** 152m / 166yds **Yarn used in the sample:** Friends Kid Silk, Hobbii, held triple 72% Mohair, 25% Silk, 3% Wool (25 g / 0.9 oz = 200 m / 219 yds) **MC:** 2 skeins of Friends Kid Silk colour 114 **CC1:** 1 skein of Friends Kid Silk colour 125 **CC2:** 1 skein of Friends Kid Silk colour 116 **CC3:** 1 skein of Friends Kid Silk colour 17 **Needles:** Straight or circular needles 4 mm / US 6 **Gauge:** 18 sts x 28 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4” x 4” in the garter stitch rib pattern, measured after washing and blocking. **Skill level:** 3 of 5 (when 1 is easy)
