The Basic Crochet Stitches Used
When you look at the pictures of my finished crochet lace bandana, you might be a little bit intimidated by the different stitches used. Fear not, there really are just a few basic stitches that you will need to know in order to make this lace bandana.
A lot of bandana patterns out there will use granny clusters, or the popular crochet granny stitch to make up the entire bandana. This pattern is a little different, in that it still uses half of the granny square concept to make the shape, but the shell stitch, or what is sometimes called the fan stitch is what is used to create this delicate design.
In order to make this pattern, you will want to know how to make a chain, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet stitch. These basic crochet stitches are then combined in different ways to make up the lacey bandana pattern.

How to Crochet A Bandana
The Bandana
Row 1: ch 4 sts, in the 4th ch from your hook, make 3 dc sts, ch 3, 4 dc sts.
Row 2: ch 2 sts, turn. Dc in each of the next 4 dc sts, in the ch space make 2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc sts, dc in the remaining 4 dc sts.
Row 3: ch 2 sts, turn. Dc in each of the next dc sts, in the ch space make 2 dc sts, ch 3, 2 dc, dc in each of the remaining dc sts.
Row 4: Repeat row 3 one time more
Row 5: ch 2 sts, dc in the next dc st, ch 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next dc. Repeat until you come to the chain 3 space. In the ch 3 space, work dc, ch 1, dc, ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc, on the other side work ch 1, dc, skip the next dc, ch 1, dc, skip the next dc across to the end. Dc in the last two sts.
Repeat row 3 four times, then make row 5. Continue alternating in this pattern until your bandana is your desired size. I made 4 groups of the 4 dc rows, and chain row, then added two more double crochet rows before adding the edging.
The Border
When you finish the body of the bandana, do not finish off. Instead you can start the boarder.
To make the boarder, ch 1, turn and sc on top of the last dc made. *Skip the next 2 sts, and then make 5 dc sts in the next st, skip the next 2 sts, sc in the next st.* Repeat from * to * across.
Making Ties
On the side of the bandana, I like to add some tie strings. To do this, you can join the yarn at either side. then chain approximately 81 sts, or as many as you prefer. In the second ch from the hook, make a sl st. Sl st in each st back up to the bandana. Finish off and weave in the yarn ends. Repeat the same steps for the other side of the bandana. Then you are finished and ready to enjoy your crochet head scarf!
Tips for Crocheting Bandanas and Headscarves
Check your Gauge for Sizing
In the above pattern, a gauge has been provided. In order to check this, you will also want to use a gauge to measure your stitches. This will ensure that your bandana turns out the same size as mine did. If needed, you can use a smaller hook or larger crochet hook to help adjust the size so that the stitch count matches up to the gauge.
Adjust the Size as you go if Needed
When making this crochet bandana, you can easily adjust the finished size by adding or subtracting the number of rows you create. This way you can make the finished bandana as large or as small as you prefer.
Choose the Best Yarn for your Project
I highly recommend using crochet thread for this project, so that the bandana turns out nice and lacey. However, you don’t have to use crochet thread if you prefer something else. Just remember that it will change the size of your bandana if you use a different size yarn, and you will also want to change the hook size you use.
Some other good yarn options include 100% cotton yarn. For this type of project, you might like Lion Brand’s 24/7 cotton yarn, or Hobby Lobby has its own brand of this type of yarn as well. If you decide not to use cotton crochet thread, then cotton yarn is the next best option.
Additional Questions
What yarn is best for making crochet bandanas?
The best yarn for making this crochet pattern is going to be cotton crochet thread, or if you prefer 100% cotton yarn. While you can use acrylic yarn, the best results will be had with cotton yarn.
How Long Does it Take to Crochet an Easy Bandana?
How long it takes to make a bandana depends on you. How much time you work on the project, and how fast you are at stitching. This lace crochet bandana is a fairly quick crochet project because it is a smaller project to make.
Can beginners crochet a bandana?
While beginners can make a crochet bandana, this specific pattern is going to be best for crocheters who have a little bit of experience under their belts. I recommend this pattern for advanced beginners or intermediate crocheters.
Can you make this pattern in different sizes?
Yes, making this pattern in different sizes is very easy to do. Because the pattern is worked in repetitive rows, you can easily increase or decrease the number or rows you make in order to change the finished size of your bandana. Â Â
