Overview
This bandana is worked back and forth to create a triangular shape. The edge is then decorated with a picot stitch. Finally, ties are added.

Sizes
You can crochet a bandana for any head size by adjusting the number of rows.

Yarn Suggestions
You can use any yarn and the appropriate hook. I recommend natural plant fibers in light colors, perfect for summer. Look for yarns made from cotton, linen, viscose, or bamboo. Finer yarns may require more work and skill, but it’s usually worth the effort!
Yarn used: 50 g of 100% linen, 330 m 360 yards in 100 g.

7 clusters (6 ch 1 spaces) × 6 rows = 10 × 10 cm 4 × 4 inches in granny square stitch (3 DC, ch 1) using 2.5 mm C/2 crochet hook after washing and blocking.
