I knit this Paris-inspired bandana using a lace weight 100% alpaca yarn on 2.75mm needles. What I wanted to do was make a smaller version of my Parisian Links shawl that still incorporated the elements of the original.

It measures 43in (109cm) across the top line and 17in (43com) from the top line to the bottom point.
