How to make bandanas *pic*

Bump for Jess!

I semi-understand the pictures you've shown, but I had a quick question.

Do you cut them into triangles that you just tie on, or do you cut a square that you later fold into a triangle to tie on?

I've bought plenty that are made for people that are made as a square, and you then fold into a triangle to wrap on your head.

Just wondering which way is better for a dog. I'd imagine the less amount of bulk is better, but I was just making sure!

Less amount of bulk is easier to deal with for a dog, human bandanas are usually square, but doggie (and kitty) ones are just equilateral triangles. If you have a sewing machine, hemming the edges is pretty simple, and most effective at preventing fraying, but if you do not, pinking shears are the next best thing. A woven fabric with fray more readily than a knit of any sort, but the fabrics we use to make bandanas - the ones with pretty patterns, are almost always woven.

I just cut them in triangles - the less material you use for each one, the more you can make.

For little dogs, I cut the triangle in half and make two smaller triangles.
