Bandana Crochet Pattern

Personally, I plan to use up some of the remnants of my various Caron Cakes to make one in colorful stripes, and maybe throw in some bobbles.

Pattern 1: Two-in-one bandana cowl, #4 weight yarn

The patterns given here should fit most adults and older teens. If you need to adjust the size up or down, simply increase or decrease the number of stitches in increments of two, taking care to always start with an even number of stitches, counting the turning chain. If you wish to adjust the number of rows, to maintain the proportions I recommend adding or subtracting rows in twos, with one row being in the cowl portion and one in the bandana portion.

This garment is worked all in one piece, from the top of the cowl down to the bottom of the bandana. The increase at the point of the bandana portion is worked exactly opposite the turning chain in the loop.

Either method is fine for this project, but I personally prefer starting projects with foundation stitches whenever possible. Round 13 transition to bandana: Continue as for round 14, always working 2 hdc, ch2, 2 hdc in the ch2 space. Optional round 26 sc border with picots: You want your picots to be spaced out evenly from the front point of the bandana, so I recommend that before starting this round, you count back from the point on each side and mark where to place the picots.

Stitch markers are very useful for marking picots; you can also use bobby pins or safety pins. For this piece, I opted to go back and work a border of sc around the top of the cowl to neaten it up. Like the picot border, this is entirely optional. You still work the same number of rounds, but need fewer stitches in each round. Because of the heavier yarn and slightly chunkier look, I opted not to add any borders to this piece. Because this pattern is a variation of pattern 1, you can refer back to pattern 1 for most photo illustrations.

Because 5 weight yarn is a little thicker, the overall size will be a little bigger. I would love to see any bandana cowls made from this pattern! You can email photos to spoonsandhooks gmail. Do you have any questions about this pattern? You are free to gift, donate or sell for profit any items you make from this pattern. Love the look of this! Am working on it now.

But I must have missed something. Hdc in each stitch does not create a ribbing like you have. How did you get that effect? Thank you for sharing this pattern. I just did a regular hdc through both loops, and turned the work after every round. Are you turning your work? Like Liked by 1 person. I have been crocheting for a year now and have learned that not all patterns can be easily followed. This one is and what a beautiful piece I have created for a dear friend.

Thanks you for a beautiful pattern that was easy to follow. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Rows 15 — Do not turn at the end of Row Then add 7 fringe to one angled side.

I started by adding 1 fringe at the end of Row 5 and then added 1 every 4th row after that.

After you add fringe to one side, mirror what you did on the opposite side of the point. See photos below for how to secure fringe. Insert your hook from back to front into a stitch along the cowl. Take 3 strands of yarn and fold them in half.

Place them on the hook. Pull a loop of the yarn thru to the backside of the cowl. Using your fingers, pull the loose ends of the yarn thru the loop you just made. Make sure the loose ends are still even and pull on them to tighten the knot. Trim the loose ends of the fringe to even them up.

Pattern 2: Two-in-one bandana cowl, #5 weight yarn

Love your presentation of patterns!! This is sure to be a hit! Thanks Jennifer for all your awesome work!! You can definitely use a worsted weight yarn. The picture that is shown, is it a child size or adult? Trying to determine how much yarn I need for an adult size. Since the turning chains are not counted as stitches, you will work the first st or sts of each row into the very first st.

My cousin found your pattern on Pinterest and fell in love with it. She has bright, brilliant dark red hair…any suggestions on a good color for her? Oh and blue eyes its the Irish side of our family: Yellow undertones are what they wear. They can wear dark tones with yellow undertones: Autumn are dark tones and wear color great! Many blacks, and hispanics are winters therefore they wear Blue or Pink undertones according to how you view colors: Reds that are without yellows, Pinks, Purples, Blue and Blue Greens, They wear from the darkest colors to the icy colors.
