Making The Triangle Bandana
Materials Needed:
- 73g of Lion Brand's 24/7 Cotton Yarn in the color Bay Leaf (100% mercerized cotton, medium/number 4 weight)
- 4mm Clover Amour Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
Step by step Pattern
- Start with a Slip Knot:
- Place yarn over the palm of your hand, tail end at the bottom.
- Loop around two fingers to form an X.
- Insert hook under one side of the X, over and grab the other side, pull it through.
- Tighten the slip knot.
- Chain Six:
- Yarn over, pull through the loop to make your first chain.
- Repeat until you have six chains.
- First Row:
- Work into the very first chain:
- 3 Double Crochets (DC) into the first chain.
- Chain 2, then 3 more DC into the same chain.
- Chain 1, and add one more DC into the same space.
- This completes the first row, forming a triangle.
- Work into the very first chain:
- Second Row:
- Chain 5 and turn.
- Into the chain-1 space from the last row: 3 DC.
- In the chain-2 space (corner): 3 DC, chain 2, and 3 more DC.
- Chain 1, then in the last space: 3 DC, chain 1, and 1 DC.
- For increasing, repeat this row, adding rows to your counter to keep track.
- Subsequent Rows:
- Every row follows a similar pattern:
- Start each row with chaining 5 (acts as 1 DC + chain 1).
- Work 3 DC clusters with chain 1 between every cluster along the sides.
- Corner spaces always get: 3 DC, chain 2, 3 DC.
- End each row with: 3 DC, chain 1, and 1 DC.
- Every row follows a similar pattern:
- Repeat until Desired Size:
- The sample stopped at 18 rows, measuring about 37cm along the shorter side of the triangle.
- Strap:
- Chain a length equal to the desired strap length on one side; the example used 40.
- Single crochet back along the chains, starting with the second chain from the hook.
- Work 3 single crochets into each space along the long side of the triangle.
- To mirror the strap on the other side, repeat the chain and single crochet steps.
- Connect the end of the strap with a slip stitch to the triangle to avoid sewing.
- Finishing:
- Fasten off, weave in the loose ends with a yarn needle for a neat finish.
Wearing the Bandana:
- Place the triangle over the head with the point down, two straps going around the neck.
- Tie the straps in a bow under the hair at the back of the neck.
- Adjust to flatten against the head and style as desired.
