Pattern

Round 1: In a magic ring, ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc 15, sl st to the first stitch, do not turn. Gently pull the ring to tighten it, leaving a slight opening in the center.

Round 2: ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in the first stitch, then * [2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc] in the next stitch, sc in the next 2 sts, repeat from * 4 more times working 1 sc in the last repeat, sl st to the first stitch.

Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

Repeat this little beauty 36 times, and voila! You’ve got yourself a bouquet of crochet flowers ready to be transformed into your bandana.

Joining the flowers

Once I had all the flowers ready, I grabbed a needle and thread and started piecing them together.

To create the triangle shape, I sewed the flowers along the front edge, tip-to-tip, making sure that part was longer for that perfect forehead fit. From there, I arranged the flowers in a tapered pattern, snuggling the sepals between each other to give the bandana a snug, secure feel.

To finish things off I added ties on each of the two outermost flower tips. To do this I worked a row of foundationless single crochet until I had a good length for tying around my head, approximately 15” in length.

You can adjust this length by adding more stitches to your ties.

Alternately you can make a simple chain instead of stitches for a slimmer tie.
