How to Wear and Style Your Crochet Bandana

This free crochet bandana pattern is designed as a classic triangle with straps, so it’s super easy to wear and style in all kinds of fun, practical ways.

The puff stitches give it beautiful texture, and the cotton yarn makes it lightweight, perfect for warm weather, beach days, festivals, or just a casual day out.

Here are a few ways you can wear your puff stitch crochet bandana:

• Tied at the Back (Classic Style)
  Simply place the triangle over your head and tie the straps at the back. This easy crochet hair bandana look is great for keeping your hair back while still showing off the puff stitch texture.
• As a Headwrap or Hair Scarf
  Fold the triangle a bit and tie the straps over your hair like a headband, letting the point sit back a little. It’s stylish, comfortable, and ideal for taming hair on breezy days.
• Low Ponytail Wrap
  Tie it over a low ponytail or bun to turn your crochet triangle bandana into a chic boho accessory. Quick, cute, and handmade!
• Festival or Beach Look
  This modern crochet bandana adds a handmade vibe to any outfit. Pair it with sunglasses and you’re good to go.

Because this crochet bandana pattern is lightweight and ties easily, it’s a great hair accessory for summer and it stays put!

If you’re making it for yourself or as a gift, it’s one of those versatile, handmade hair accessories that looks great year-round, but especially in summer.
