Welcome to the pattern for our Summer Lovin’ Cat Bandana-Scarf. One of our favourites and fun to work up, this bandana-scarf has a lightweight, open weave, breathable pattern, purrfect for summer (or any season!) catventures. It can be made as either tie-up or button-up behind the neck and is suitable for cats who dislike things being placed over their head.

You can purchase the 10 page written pattern (includes detailed instructions plus a printable abridged version) in our Ravelry store and view the accompanying video tutorial on the Catventurous Crochet YouTube channel. Charlotte & Melba wish you happy crocheting!
