Diamond Lace Crochet Bandana Pattern
Foundation: Make a slipknot, ch4, sl st to 1st ch [4th from hook] to form a ring
Row 1: ch4, [dc2, ch1, dc] into ring
Row 2: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, dc in next 2 st, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
At the end of every row, push your stitches in the last chain space over to the right. This will help give your project a more triangular shape.
Row 3: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, dc in next 6 st, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Row 4: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc in next 6 st, ch1, sk2, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Row 5: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, dc in next 2 st, dc2 in next ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc in next 2 st, ch1, sk2, dc2 in next ch-sp, dc in next 2 st, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Now, you should see that the diamond at the very bottom is finished!
Row 6: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, dc in next 6 st, dc2 in next ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc2 in next ch-sp, dc in next 6 st, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Row 7: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc in next 6 st, ch1, sk2, dc2 in next ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc in next 6 st, ch1, sk2, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Row 8: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp, dc in next 2 st, rep[dc2 in next ch-sp, ch1, sk2, dc in next 2 st, ch1, sk2, dc2 in next ch-sp, dc in next 2 st] 2 times, [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp
Continue with the pattern until the crochet bandana is the right size for you. You can follow the pixel grid or the notes below to help you continue the pattern. If you’re unsure of anything, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment for me or anyone reading to help you out!
Notes to Continue Increasing Size
Start of every row: ch4, turn, dc2 in first ch-sp
Rows 2-3 of the diamond: don’t skip stitches
Rows 4-5 of the diamond: ch1, sk2 on either side
Row after completing diamond: ch1, sk the 2 st of 5th row
Every chain space other than the first and last: dc2
End of every row: [dc2, ch1, dc] in last ch-sp, push stitches to the right
Continue increasing the size of the bandana until you get the size you want. It should wrap over your head from ear to ear and fold in half at the back of your head. I did 24 rows.
Next, we will crochet one strap, clean up the edges and make our picots, then crochet our other strap. And we won’t have to cut our yarn at all!
First Strap
ch35, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (34)
Note: Do a shorter chain for a shorter strap or a longer chain for a longer strap.
Straightening Edges and Crochet Picots
Now, we will be working into the spaces along the short sides of the triangle. Each row has a space on either end.
rep[sc2 in next sp, p] until ch4-sp at bottom point, [sc2, p, sc2] in next sp, rep[p, sc2 in next sp] along the side
Note: If you prefer your bandana without picots, you can skip them and just do 2 single crochets per space.
Second Strap
ch35, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across, sl st to sp, fasten off (34)
Note: If you did a different number of chains for the first strap, do that same number of chains for an identical second strap.
