Crochet Christmas Triangle Bandana
Materials Needed:
- Coton yarn suitable for amigurumi (various colors)
- 3 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Fluffy yarn (for the border)
- Darning needle
Square Pattern:
Foundation:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Make 2 double crochets into the ring. This forms your first cluster.
- Chain 2, then make 3 double crochets in the ring, forming the second cluster.
- Repeat step 4 twice more, creating a total of four clusters separated by two chains each.
- Pull the magic ring tight, closing the circle.
- Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain-3 to close the round.
Next Rounds:
- Change color as desired for each round.
- In each corner space, make 2 chains between clusters.
- In each side space, make 1 chain between clusters.
- Continue increasing each round by making corners in corner spaces and sides in side spaces.
Final Round:
- With white yarn, create a round of single crochet stitches, making 3 single stitches in the corner spaces and 1 in between the clusters from the previous round.
Triangle Pattern:
Foundation:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 4 (counts as the first triple crochet).
- Make 3 double crochets in the ring.
- Chain 2 for the corner space, then make another 3 double crochets in the ring.
- Close with a triple crochet to finish the round.
Next Rounds:
- Change color as desired, similar to the square pattern, starting each round with a triple crochet in one of the spaces from the previous round.
- In corner spaces, make 3 double crochets, chain 2, and 3 more double crochets.
- Increase the size with each round by working into the side and corner spaces.
Final Round:
- With white yarn, work a round of single crochet stitches, placing 3 single crochets in the corner spaces and 1 in between the clusters.
Bandana Assembly:
- To create the bandana, join three squares and three triangles, alternating them, with the point of each triangle facing outwards.
- Sew the pieces together using a darning needle and matching yarn.
- Attach a rope or a chain of crochets on the top corners for tying.
Border and Finishing:
- With fluffy yarn, crochet a border around the entire bandana for a "snow effect."
- Secure all yarn ends with a darning needle, weaving in the ends for a clean finish.
Additional Notes:
- Remember to block your crochet pieces for a neat finish, especially if the bandana is intended as a gift.
- Consider using holiday colors or adding embellishments like beads or appliqués for a festive touch.
