Pattern Details
- Skill Level: Easy

- Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn
- Hook: 5.0 mm (H)
- Construction: Granny squares + half squares, joined to form a triangle

About the Design
This bandana is made by combining full daisy granny squares with half squares to shape the triangle. If you’ve never made a half granny square before—don’t worry—it’s much easier than it sounds and gives the bandana that clean, tapered edge.
Once your pieces are joined, you’ll add:
- A soft ruffled border for a feminine touch
- Simple ties so you can adjust the fit perfectly
The result is a comfortable, breathable bandana that stays in place and looks adorable from every angle.
Yarn Notes
For this pattern, I recommend worsted weight cotton yarn because:
- It’s lightweight and breathable
- Holds its shape well
- Perfect for warm weather wear
You can also get creative with color combinations:
- Classic white petals + yellow centers
- Soft pastels for a spring vibe
- Bold colors for a fun statement piece
Sizing
This pattern includes two sizes:
- Child – slightly smaller triangle and shorter ties
- Adult – fuller coverage with longer ties
The adjustable ties make it easy to customize the fit even further.

- written in US terms
- ch 3 counts as dc in round 1 & round 3 (noted in pattern)
- ch 2 does not count as dc
- ch 4 counts as dc + ch 1
- These bandanas are made with flower granny squares and triangles joined together to make a triangular bandana.
- Use any joining method you prefer. I used the Join-As-You-Go method. A video tutorial for this method is included.
- 3 colors are used for the sample. A flower center color, petal color, and main color
- The pattern is written in only 2 sizes, but the ties are long and make for easy adjustment.
- Sizes: Pattern is written in 2 sizes, Child & Adult consecutively. Example, when the pattern gives the end of the row count as (60, 92), the 60 is the child the 92 is the adult.
- Gauge is listed, but it isn’t important for this pattern. Use as a general guideline
- To make a size smaller of each, go down a hook size.
Gauge: each square = 4″ x 4″
| Size | Width | Length |
| Child | 11″ | 6.5″ |
| Adult | 16″ | 9″ |
