Step 5: Continue Increasing

Continue this pattern, increasing the number of ch-1 spaces by 1 in each subsequent round until the bandana reaches the desired size for your pet. Make sure to measure your pet's neck to ensure a comfortable fit.

Step 6: Finishing Up

Once you have reached the desired size, fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using your tapestry needle.

Step 7: Adding Fringe

1. Cut lengths of neon green and neon yellow yarn, each measuring 6 inches.
2. To attach the fringe, fold each piece of yarn in half.
3. Pull the loop through a stitch along the bottom edge of the bandana.
4. Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop and tighten to secure.
5. Alternate colors for a vibrant effect, spacing the fringe evenly across the bottom edge.
