Crochet Bandana Kerchief Free Patterns

Are you ready to make the hottest fashion accessory for the summer? Shopping aisles are full of crochet (and faux-crochet) clothing, but it’s the accessories that take the crocheting world by storm.

You don’t have to buy overpriced accessories when you can make them yourself 🙂 Check my collection of bandana crochet pattern ideas and make them this weekend.

How to Style Crochet Bandanas

You can style these triangular mini-shawls in a couple of ways:

Use it as a headscarf

It’s the most popular and “obvious” way to wear it – tie the two arms of the triangle behind your head.

Tie it at the waist

This way of styling got popular quite recently – a crochet kerchief worn over the pants or a skirt as an additional layer. For the best effect, this kind of bandana is usually bigger (big enough to wrap around your hips) and made with lace or mesh stitches.

Wear it around the neck

Remember the micro-scarf trend? A crochet bandana will fit right in, too!

Accessorize

Attach it to your everyday bag, a summer hat, or a backpack – it really works miracles on the outfit.
