Pass to Center, Bandana #3

**20% off the pattern until Saturday June 27th, no coupon required.** **Pass to Center Bandana** A striking mosaic knit that blends geometric structure with playful floral motifs in a beautifully wearable accessory. Pass to Center is the third design in the Square Dance Collection — a rhythmic mosaic knitting project inspired by the movement and flow of traditional square dancing. Framed by bold geometric borders and punctuated with delicate floral motifs, the design draws the eye inward toward the center, creating a balanced and visually engaging composition. Worked flat as a square in two-color mosaic knitting, Pass to Center delivers all the impact of colorwork while using only one color per row. The result is a relaxing, highly addictive knit that allows the motifs to emerge gradually as the fabric grows. Finished with elegant I-cord edges and an I-cord bind-off, the completed square can be folded and styled as a bandana, neck scarf, kerchief, or small shawlette. Whether worn casually with denim or layered for extra warmth, Pass to Center offers a timeless combination of graphic structure and soft texture. ✨ **Design Features** • Square bandana construction worked flat • Two-color mosaic knitting throughout • One color worked per row (no stranded colorwork) • Bold Greek-key inspired border motif • Floral-inspired central motifs that emerge through slipped stitches • Entirely garter stitch based — no purling required • Integrated 2-stitch I-cord selvedge edges • I-cord bind-off for a polished finish • Fingering-weight yarn creates a lightweight, versatile fabric • Includes both a full chart and smaller sectional charts for ease of use • Multiple styling options — wear folded as a bandana, scarf, kerchief, or shawlette ❤️ **Skill Level** – Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate This pattern is ideal for knitters who are comfortable with knit stitches, slipping stitches, and following charts.
