3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit 1 stitch (K1), purl to the last stitch, then knit 1 stitch (K1).
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2: Continue this pattern, alternating colors every 10 rows. Use the following order for your stripes:

   • Deep Coral
   Keep knitting until the bandana measures 12 inches along the longest edge.
5. Decrease for Point:

   Repeat these two rows until you have 3 stitches remaining on your needle.
