Mini Granny Square Bandana

I have always wanted to make a crochet Bandana to wear camping when you can't wash your hair, so I put one together using mini granny squares. The good thing about the bandana is that you can use it as a neck scarf as well.





















You can access the full pattern HERE and be sure to check out the pattern highlights below

Using the pattern found HERE make 21 blue centered squares








Make 6 blue centered Granny Square triangles










Make 15 Orange centered Granny Squares










Make 6 orange centered Granny Square Triangles







and 1 blue Granny square Triangle






Lay out the squares and triangles as follows:
Row 1: 11 mini granny squares with the blue center and 2 blue center mini half-granny triangles (Mini half-granny squares do not show in the photo)
Row 2:  9 mini granny squares with the orange center and 2 orange center mini half-granny triangles
Row 3: 7 mini granny squares with the blue center and 2 blue center mini half-granny triangles
Row 4:  5 mini granny squares with the orange center and 2 orange center mini half-granny triangles
Row 5: 3 mini granny squares with the blue center and 2 blue center mini half-granny triangles
Row 6: 1 mini granny squares with the orange center and 2 orange center mini half-granny triangles
Row 7: 1 solid blue mini half-granny triangles


Join the squares and triangles together using the E/4 (3.5 mm) hook, there are a few different ways to join granny squares. This project was done with a single crochet join, with the ridge on the top for texture.
Once you have joined the squares and triangles its time to add the edging. (See edging in pattern found HERE)  



You can make the Bandana smaller by reducing the number of mini granny squares and triangles you use.

I can't wait to wear this camping in August!
Have a great week,
Da
