Materials Required:
- Cotton yarn
- 3mm crochet hook
Pattern Instructions:
- Starting the Bandana:
- Make a knot and pull it down.
- Chain 3.
- Insert the hook into the first chain and make a slip stitch to form a tiny circle.
- Row 1:
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the tiny circle, yarn over and pull through to make a double crochet. Continue until you have 4 double crochets, making one chain between each double crochet.
- Row 2:
- Chain 3, turn your work.
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the space created by the chain 3, make a double crochet.
- Chain 1, insert the hook into the next space and make a double crochet. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the row.
- At the last double crochet, make one chain, yarn over, and make a double crochet with three pull-throughs: pull through one loop, then the next two loops, then the final two loops.
- Subsequent Rows:
- Chain 3, turn.
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the first space, make a double crochet.
- Chain 1, continue double crochet sequence in each space until you reach the end of the row, make one chain before the last double crochet.
- Continue to increase the number of double crochets by two in each row by repeating this method.
- Total Rows:
- Continue until you have 26 rows.
- Creating the Lace:
- Chain 51, ensuring your chains are loose.
- Skip the first chain, and single crochet into the next chain. Continue until you complete all 51 chains.
- Make double crochets along the edge of the bandana: one double crochet in each space along the edge.
- Lace on the Other Side:
- Chain 51 on the other side and repeat the process of single crochet into each chain.
- Side Border:
- Chain 4.
- Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the next space, and pull through four times.
- Repeat this for the next three spaces to form a cluster of 4 double crochets.
- Skip one space, single crochet into the next space.
- Corners:
- When you reach the corner, single crochet in the corner space, then make a cluster of four double crochets with chain 4, yarn over twice, and four pull-throughs.
- Continue the side border pattern.
- End of Side Border:
- When you reach the end, cut the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a smaller hook.
Final Notes:
- Use the same method to hide any remaining yarn tails.
- Shape and block the bandana if desired after completing the project.
