Boho Crochet Bandana with Shell Stitches Border – Free Pattern

This boho crochet bandana is a quick, easy project that’s perfect for summer.

It’s worked in soft cotton yarn, with simple shell stitches border that gives it just the right amount of detail, nothing fussy, just pretty and practical.

The triangle shape ties with straps, so it stays in place whether you wear it as a headscarf, a wrap, or even under a sun hat.

I designed it to be lightweight, easy to wear, and beginner-friendly, but it still feels special when it’s done.

If you’ve wanted something you can finish in a weekend (or less), this is a great one to try.

Why You’ll Love This Boho Crochet Bandana

This pattern is a simple triangle shape, worked from the center out, and finished with a delicate shell border that adds a soft, pretty edge without making it fussy or complicated.

I chose cotton yarn to keep it lightweight and breathable, making it a perfect accessory for warm weather.

Because it’s quick to make and easy to wear, it’s a perfect last-minute gift or a simple project to relax with on a sunny afternoon.n summer.
