Learn how to make a quick and cute crochet bandana to hold back your hair for summer. The free crochet pattern is easy and includes a video tutorial!

The Torino Head Scarf is great way to hold back your hair without pulling it up in a pony tail. I chose to use cotton yarn for this summer pattern.

This crochet head kerchief is made with one solid color but this would be a fun project to use different colors for a stripe affect too. Read on for the free pattern.

Using a square bandana folded in half to make a triangle you can tie it around your head to hold back your hair. The good news is that since we’re all crocheters here, we don’t have to make a full square, just the triangle.

The Yarn

This pattern only uses one ball of yarn. It’s an easy project to adjust for a larger size, just be sure to get extra yarn.

The yarn I use is Hobbii Friends Cotton which comes in lots of beautiful colors. Thanks to Hobbii for providing the yarn for this design.

This yarn is a #3 light yarn. Likely you can use a worsted weight yarn too, just be sure to check gauge. While I think a cotton yarn is the perfect choice, an acrylic yarn would work too.

This is a great project for beginners. You only need to know the double crochet stitch and single crochet stitch.

Materials

1 ball (82 yd) Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/8 (100% cotton, 50 g / 75 m) a #3 light weight yarn, color: white (117)

4.5 mm hook (US Size G+), or crochet hook size needed to meet gauge

Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape

Notes

Ch 3 counts as the first dc, I highly recommend a chain 3 alternative.

Skill Level

Easy

Stitches

ch – chain

dc – double crochet

mc – magic circle

sl st – slip stitch

sc – single crochet

Gauge

1” x 1” = 4 dc x 2 rows of dc

Sizing

Finished Dimensions

6” from center to tip, 14” wide without ties.

Construction

This pattern is worked from the center out with increases at the beginning of a row, in the center chain space and in the last dc at the end of row. It’s a simple 3 row repeat.

The ties are added afterward with chains. It’s possible to repeat rows 10 – 12 for a longer bandana. You’ll have to adjust the stitch counts accordingly. Be sure to make the last row a row 12 repeat.
