Turn, to work across the top of bandana.
DO NOT F.O. (FASTEN OFF)
Now you are starting the cowl of the neckerchief.
Working across the neck portion in sc. 2 sc in the ends of each dc along the top side, (I worked mine in the ch 2 at the ends of the rows when possible.)
Cowl: (change to I - 5.50 Hook)
ch 1, turn,
(I try to have the right side toward me, I do it by putting a stitch marker in the right side stitch of the first row)
Round 1: sc across the top of bandana, 53 sc, evenly spaced,
(2 sc in ends of each row, as stated above),
ch 40, making sure to not twist the chain, join by slst in the first dc.
(or as many as needed to make the cowl comfortable to wear, this took a couple tries for me)
Round 2: ch 2, dc in first sc, same as join, place a marker in top of the first dc, dc in each sc and ch back to join. Join to the top of dc where marker is, (the ch 2 may need to be used as a post stitch when you work the 2nd round, but this is the only time the ch 2 should be used as a stitch.)
From here I followed the Friendly Red Fox, Frozen Inspired Cowl
After I got the cowl as long as I was comfortable with, I finished off and put on the edge trim.
I did not use this video but remember the edge pattern I used from a vintage baby blanket.

Note: buy all the yarn you need at once to be sure the same dye lot, as
"Basic yarn by Mainstays"
does not use dye lot and the trim is a shade different that the neckerchief.
Remember: Nothing is difficult if you do it with a joyful heart.
God Bless & Keep Thee.
