24 Free Crochet Bandana Patterns

A crochet bandana is a triangle worn as a kerchief or headscarf, tied at the back of the head or neck. Most are worked in rows from the point up or the long edge down, which makes them quick to fit: you can stop adding rows once the triangle covers what you want.

Each pattern below is an original Looplader design, crocheted from its own written instructions before publishing. The table compares them at a glance; the cards below group them by skill level so you can pick a first bandana or a colorwork project.
