Usefull Advices
If it helps you keep the shaping even, place a stitch marker at the center or corners. Try the fit before you make the ties too long. If your edges are starting to pull, try to relax your tension a little. A light blocking can cause the bandana to lie flatter and show off the design.

- Pause before checking the fit
- Having one tie longer than the other
- Skipping careful weaving in at the end
