Born This Way Bandana (knit)

Bandana, kerchief, headscarf - however you style it, wear it with Pride! The Born This Way Bandana takes inspiration from the Progress Pride Flag created by Daniel Quasar. ***20% of the proceeds from pattern sales will be donated to [The Trevor Project][1] initially. In the future, these funds may be directed to other organizations that support the queer community, wherever the need seems greatest at that time.*** Looking for the crochet version? It’s [here][2]. **CONSTRUCTION** This bandana begins with a V-shaped strip of garter stitch in the six rainbow colors. Stitches are then picked up along the upper edge of the V and worked upward in a mitered triangle in black, brown, aqua, pink, and white. The ties are added in one piece, starting with a length of independent i-cord, then applied i-cord across the top edge of the bandana, followed by another length of independent i-cord. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Width (excluding ties): 13 in / 32.5 cm Height at center: 9 in / 22.5 cm Tie length: 12 in / 30 cm **GAUGE** 21 sts / 42 rows = 4 in / 10 cm in garter stitch, after blocking **TOOLS** US 3 / 3.25 mm (or size to obtain gauge) circular needle, 16 in / 40 cm or longer Stitch marker Tapestry needle **YARN** Fingering weight Less than 20 yds / 18 m per color **SHOWN IN** Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper Minis 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon 92 yds / 84 m per 20g skein 11 colors of the Progress Pride Flag Red: Poison Apple, 12 yds / 11 m Orange: Orange You Jealous, 12 yds / 11 m Yellow: Rubber Ducky, 12 yds / 11 m Green: Emerald City, 12 yds / 11 m Blue: Imperial, 12 yds / 11 m Purple: Drama Queen, 12 yds / 11 m Black: Darkest Hour, 16 yds / 15 m Brown: Give a Hoot, 14 yds / 13 m Aqua: Tranquil, 11 yds / 10 m Pink: Tiny Dancer, 8 yds / 7 m White: Bare Necessities, 20 yds / 18 m If you’re having trouble with any of my patterns, or simply want to show off your project, please feel free to visit my Ravelry group, [Carissa Browning Designs][3].
