disagree  Kim Metzger: Why small?/Never heard of a bandanna?

  -> because they are small afaik

disagree  Cetacea: A "Nikkituch" is not the same as a scarf. Plus 50 x 50 cm isn't that small, and that's what most of them measure.

  -> this is contradictory to my opinion and camilla's and serious definitions to be found on the Internet

agree  Camilla Seifert: They are definitely small! And tht is the translation I also found. Look at the pix. http://www.google.de/images?hl=de&gbv=2&tbs=isch:1&ei=2-P7S-...
