Free Bandana Crochet Pattern For Boho Outfits

Special Stitches

Point Segredo (Lover’s Knot)

• Formed by stretching a yarn loop and working a single crochet (sc) into the space to create a textured knot resembling a “lover’s knot.”
• This stitch creates raised decorative points along the border.

3-Loop Puff Stitch

• Yarn over, insert hook into designated stitch or chain space, yarn over, pull loop through (three times to get 4 loops on hook).
• Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook in one go to create a puff.
• Adds bulk and texture, creating a soft “puff” in the edging.

The Crochet Pattern

Starting the Bandana

Foundation (Row 1)

• Chain 4 loosely.
• Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the first chain to make a total of 3 stitches including the starting chain.
• Chain 2, then work 3 more double crochets (dc) into the same chain space, shaping a triple V-stitch.

Row 2 (Chain and Single Crochet)

• Chain 7, turn your work.
• Work 1 single crochet (sc) into the same stitch where you turned.
• Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet (dc) in the center space of the previous V-stitch.
• Chain 3 once more, then finish with 1 single crochet (sc) at the last stitch of the row.

Row 3 (Double V-Stitch Row)

• Chain 4, turn the work.
• Work 1 double crochet into the same space.
• In the center stitch space, work a double V-stitch (also called a fan):
  • Work 2 double crochets (dc),
  • Chain 2, Save
  • Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the same space.
• Repeat this double V-stitch pattern into the next center space.
• End the row by working 2 double crochets (dc), chain 2, then 3 double crochets (dc) into the 4th chain of the previous chain 7 space to complete the edge.

Alternating Pattern Rows

• Alternate between:
  • Row 2 style: Chain spaces with single crochets anchoring the ends.
  • Row 3 style: Rows of double V-stitches (fans) connected by chains.
• Ensure you work increases at the edges and corners by adding extra stitches or chain spaces to grow the bandana evenly and maintain triangular shape.
• Continue until the bandana reaches approximately 27 cm depth, or your desired size. Save

Adding the Ties

• After completing the band’s main body size:
• Work slip stitches (sl st) along the edge until you reach the corner space where the tie will attach.
• Chain 60 to form the length of the tie — adjust length to your comfort.
• Return along the chain by working single crochets (sc) in every chain, creating a firm comfortable tie.
• Repeat this tie-creation on the opposite corner of the bandana.

The Border (Bico) – Point Segredo and Puff Stitch

Attaching the Border Yarn

• Attach your yarn to any corner or edge of the bandana to begin the border.

Pattern for Border Edging

• Stretch the yarn to create a loop for the point segredo (lover’s knot).
• Work a single crochet (sc) into the stitch or chain space forming the knot base.
• Chain 3 to form the space between edging knots.
• Work a 3-loop puff stitch into the base single crochet stitch:
  • Yarn over and pull through loops three times for fullness, then yarn over and pull through all loops together.
• Chain 3 more, then secure the puff with a slip stitch (sl st) into the same base stitch.
• Repeat this point segredo with puff stitch sequence evenly around all edges. Save

Corner Treatments

• At the bottom tip of the bandana, work additional stitches (extra puff stitches and chains) into the same space to create a smooth, graceful corner turn.
• This ensures the border flows nicely around the triangular shape. Save

Assembly & Finished Size

• Weave in all ends carefully with a yarn needle to secure your work.
• Use blocking (steam or wet blocking) to shape the bandana flat and open the stitch pattern beautifully.
• Ties length approximately corresponds to the 60 chains worked back in single crochet. Adjust to fit comfortably over the head or neck.
• Finished bandana measures about 27 cm depth, wide enough to cover the head or neck stylishly.
