HOW THE REVERSIBLE DESIGN WORKS

The pattern uses two bandana panels connected by one central collar channel.

Choose one fabric for Side A and a coordinating fabric for Side B.

Once finished, the collar passes through the center channel and the bandana can be flipped to show a different fabric side.

Use this simple color formula:

1 FEATURE PRINT
+
1 COORDINATING FABRIC
+
1 SHARED COLOR

DOG BANDANA SIZE & FIT TIPS

Choose a size based on your dog’s neck size, collar width and the finished look you prefer.

If you are between sizes, compare the pattern width and collar channel with a bandana or collar that already fits your dog well.

Always supervise pets while wearing accessories and remove the bandana if it becomes damaged, too tight or uncomfortable.
