This pattern is simple, quick to make, and adds the perfect handmade touch to any outfit. Whether you’re heading out for a walk, packing for a weekend getaway, or just need a cute solution for a messy hair day, this bandana has you covered (literally!).

The design is beginner-friendly but still interesting enough to keep seasoned crocheters engaged. It works up quickly with minimal yarn, making it great for last-minute gifts, market prep, or busting through your stash.

Important Pattern Notes

• This pattern uses US crochet terms.

• Pattern in brackets [] are worked all in the same stitch/space.

• This pattern is size graded, however you can make-to-measure also & use any yarn/hook you like.

• You will work the bandana from the middle outwards, then you will add a picot border and ties all using a continuous strand of yarn.

Measurements

This pattern is one size and will fit adults. You can also easily adjust the size by increasing/decreasing the amount of repeat rows.

Special Stitch

This pattern uses Picot which is simply 3 chains and a slip stitch.

• Picot: chain 3 and then insert hook into the third chain from hook and make a slip stitch. This creates a cluster of chains on top of your work.

Let’s get started!

Written Pattern

Row 1: Create a magic circle. Ch 4 (this will count as your first dc and a ch 1). In the ring, dc 3, ch 2, dc 3, ch 1, dc.

Row 2: Ch 4 and turn (counts as a dc and a ch 1). Dc 3 in the first ch 1 space. [Dc 3, ch 2, dc 3] in the next ch 2 space. Dc 3 in the next ch 1 space, ch 1, dc 1 in the last stitch (the third ch of the ch 4).

Row 3: Ch 4 and turn (counts as a dc and a ch 1). Dc 3 in next space(s). [Dc 3, ch 2, dc 3] in the ch 2 space. Dc 3 in the next space(s). Ch 1, dc 1 in the last stitch (the third ch of the ch 4)

Row 4 – 18: Repeat round 3 until you have 18 rows total, or until the length of the long side of your bandana is about 19 inches.

Row 19: Ch 1 and turn. Sc in the first stitch, then in the space, and then in the next stitch. *Picot (this means a to ch 3 and then sl st in the first make ch). Then sc in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * all the way down the side. At the top ch 2 sp you will have a sc, picot, and another sc all in that sp. Then sc in the next 2 stitches. *Picot, then sc in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * again down this side.

Now you will make the first tie. Ch 60, sc in the first ch from hook and all the way down.

Work along the last edge of your bandana. Sc evenly across. You will be working into the raw side of the stitches. Make 2 sc in each sideways dc and once where the magic ring is.

When you get to the end, make the next tie. Ch 60, sc in the first ch from hook and all the way back. Sl st to join and fasten of yarn.

Weave in all ends and…

You’re all done!
