I’m thrilled to announce that my newest pattern, the Magic Fringe Bandana, is ready for testing! If you’ve been looking for a quick yet striking accessory project, or if you love the idea of a fringe that magically appears as you knit, this pattern might be the perfect fit.
The Magic Fringe Bandana is inspired by my popular Magic Fringe Shawl, and this bandana version brings all the same excitement in a smaller, versatile accessory. It features mosaic (slipped-stitch) colorwork, garter-stitch stripes, and—of course—the signature Magic Fringe technique. With this pattern, you’ll work with just one color at a time, so no worries about tension, carrying yarn, or ends to weave in!
Magic Fringe Bandana Pattern Highlights
Techniques: Mosaic colorwork (slipped stitch), garter stitch, and fringe that forms as you knit!
Color Choice: This project shines with two contrasting colors (solid or tonal), which make the mosaic and fringe pop.
Level: Perfect for adventurous beginners and beyond, even if you’ve never tried mosaic knitting before.
What I’m Looking for in Test Knitters

Follow pattern instructions closely and provide constructive feedback on clarity, yardage, and any improvements
Complete the project by November 20, 2024
Take high-quality photos of the finished piece that showcase the pattern’s details (optional but appreciated!)
Whether you’re a seasoned tester or trying it out for the first time, I’d love to hear from you if you feel excited about the Magic Fringe Bandana!
