Introduction

Welcome back to another crochet tutorial! In this video, I'll be showing you how to create a gorgeous cotton bandana head wrap. This project is quick, beautiful, and easy to crochet. You can find the free pattern on my blog, selinavarunic.com. I'll also provide all the materials you'll need in the description below. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project:

• 100% cotton yarn (preferably DK light 3 weight)
• 4mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Now that we have everything ready, let's move on to the next step!

Step 1: Creating a Slip Knot

To start this tutorial, create a slip knot and place your hook through it. Then, chain four to create a ring. Slip stitch through the first chain to close the ring.

Step 2: Starting the First Round

For the first round, chain four (this counts as your first double crochet and chain space). Place three double crochets within the ring to create the first cluster. Chain two and place another three double crochets within the ring. Chain one and place one last double crochet inside the ring. This completes the first round.

Step 3: Continuing the Rounds

For the next rounds, follow the same pattern of chaining four, placing three double crochets in the chain space, chaining one, and repeating this process for each cluster. When reaching the center, chain two, and continue with three double crochets in the center. This pattern creates increases as you go along, resulting in a beautiful and repetitive design.

Step 4: Completing the Pattern

Continue crocheting in this pattern for a total of 13 rows. Each row will follow the same principle of chaining four, placing three double crochets, chaining one, and so on. Once you've completed the 13th row, your bandana head wrap will start to take shape.

Adding the Chain Arc Border

To add a decorative edge to your head wrap, we'll be creating a chain arc border. Start by chaining three and skipping the next stitch. Place a single crochet in the following stitch. Continue this pattern of chaining three, skipping one stitch, and placing a single crochet until you reach the top of the triangle. Then, continue the pattern until you reach the bottom of the project.

Creating the Hair Tie

To create a hair tie, chain 30 and slip stitch through each chain. Once you've reached the end, secure the tie by slip stitching into a stitch at the corner. Fasten off and tidy up any loose ends.

Adding the Strap

Finally, attach your yarn to one corner of the head wrap and repeat the process of chaining 30 and slip stitching through each chain. Once completed, fasten off and tidy up any loose ends. Your bandana head wrap is now finished and ready to wear!
