I got this a few yrs ago, best scarf I ever had. But I lost it and they stopped selling.

Will any of you sell me yours of how do I get this or something identical?

Do you mean a bandana, like [this](https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carhartt-Bandana-Blue-White-Diamond-Plate-Tools-Hard-at-work-since-1889/292722340858?hash=item44279c73fa:g:FnYAAOSwS3dbl0ui)?

It’s a very simple acrylic rib-knit scarf. Ask a knitter to make you one.

Go to eBay and search Carhartt scarf. Several that look like your scarf show up in the results. I tried it with and without 1889. Results were better without.

Yeah, learn to knit (it’s really easy) and you could make yourself as many of them in as many colors as you like! Heck, if you lived near me and bought the yarn, I’d make you one myself.
