Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Mystic Meadow Pet Bandana:

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using the forest green yarn.
2. Row 1: Knit across all 3 stitches.
3. Row 2:
   • Knit 1 (K1).

   • Knit to the last stitch, M1 again, and then K1.
4. Increase Stitches: Repeat Row 2 until you have a total of 45 stitches on your needle. This will create the triangular shape of the bandana.
5. Change Yarn: Switch to sky blue yarn.
6. Row 3: Knit across all 45 stitches.

13. Bind Off: Once you have 60 stitches, bind off loosely to ensure the edge is flexible.
14. Finishing Touches:
