Bennet Bandana Knitting Kit by Flax & Twine
Linen is an ideal fiber for a bandana. It’s light and breathable, with a natural sheen that makes color glow, and it softens with every wear and wash. Daytime Linen Fingering is 100% dew-retted linen, a traditional way of processing flax in the field that gives the yarn its soft hand.
The pattern by Anne Weil keeps things simple. It’s mostly garter stitch on US 3 needles, which can be straight or circular. The picot lace edge comes from a short repeating sequence, and the video walks you through it. The finished triangle is about 18" deep by 36" wide, and you can easily knit it smaller for a child or larger for a shawlette.
Kit Contains enough material to knit one bandana approximately 36" wide and 18" deep.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Are knitting needles included?
No. You’ll need US 3 (3.25 mm) needles, either straight or a 32" circular.
Is the Bennet Bandana good for beginners?
Yes. It’s mostly garter stitch with a 7-row repeat, and the video teaches the picot lace edge step by step.
How big is the finished bandana?
It’s a triangle about 18" deep and 36" wide at the widest point. You can make it smaller or larger by adjusting how far you knit.
What is the picot lace edge?
It’s a decorative border of tiny loops along the edge. It looks delicate but uses only a short, repeating sequence.
Why linen for a bandana?
Linen is light and breathable with a natural sheen, so it’s comfortable in warm weather and layers well in cool weather. It gets softer the more you wear and wash it.
Can I wear it in fall and winter?
Yes. Linen’s breathability makes it a comfortable layer over sweaters and coats, not just in summer.
