About The Pattern

This bandana pattern uses US crochet terminology. It is crocheted bottom up using the technique C2C (corner to corner) with the crochet granny stitch.

If you want to adapt it to a smaller size or use a different yarn weight, increase the pattern size to approximately 2” to 3” (5 to 8 cm) smaller than the head circumference.
