About this Tunisian crochet lace bandana pattern

This is an advanced lace pattern for a triangle-shaped Tunisian crochet lace bandana with ties, perfect for summer. Constructed from the tip at the bottom, it grows with each row.

The size is variable and you can make it cover a larger or smaller area by changing the number of rows you work. The ties are practical and light.

It is made of light cotton yarn, which makes it ideal for wearing in the sun, in place of a hat.

The intricate lace makes this a challenging project for a few hours and a fun accessory to wear all summer long.

Size and measurements

When meeting gauge and working all rows in the pattern, the triangle measures 60 cm across the top and 28 cm in depth, due to the slight elasticity of the lace pattern.

Gauge

Gauge is not essential in this pattern, as you work to your desired measurements.

If you do want to work to the provided size, make a gauge swatch by following these instructions

Row 1. Ch 25, pick up 25 loops in the back bumps of the chains, R (26 loops)

Row 2. 24 Tss, Ls, R (26 loops)

Repeat Row 2 24 more times for a total of 26 rows.

Block the swatch by washing it and laying it flat to dry.

Measure a 10 by 10 cm (4″ by 4″) square in the middle of the swatch and count the stitches and rows.

18 stitches and 18 rows should measure 10 by 10 cm (4″ by 4″).

If you get fewer stitches and rows, go down a hook size (0.5 mm), if available, and make another swatch.

If you get more stitches and rows, go up a hook size (0.5 mm), if available, and make another swatch.

Repeat the swatching process until you reach the recommended gauge. Make a note of the hook size used.

Skill level

Advanced – you will work with eyelets, increases, decreases, various repeats of lace patterns. You need to be able to keep consistent tension in cotton yarn.

You need to be able to follow long strings of instructions without losing your place and you need to be able to read your work if you stop.

Observations

This is a Tunisian crochet pattern worked flat, which means you always work on the right side of the fabric (the side that will be towards the outside).

Each row of symbols in the chart is independent of the previous row. You read each row of the chart as if reading a row of instructions.

The chart includes special symbols that are not usual for Tunisian crochet, but are explained in the legend and the instructions accompanying the chart.

When you encounter an eyelet and need to make a Tss, insert the hook through the eyelet and draw up a loop.

After a YO, you don’t skip a stitch unless specifically instructed.

You can stop whenever you like and continue with the ties and binding off row to finish the bandana.

Stitch makers are useful for keeping track of stitch counts.

Repeats are shown in [square brackets].

At the end of each row, loop counts are shown in (round brackets), including the first and last loop, before starting the return pass.

After finishing the bandana, wash it and lay it flat to dry. Then press it with an iron, on the wrong side, to open up the lace and give it the triangle shape.

You can make a tassel to attach at the bottom. Attach it after washing and pressing the bandana.

Binding off

Ch 31, Sk 1, make Sc in back bumps of chains.

Bind off with Sc as if to make Tss. Ch 31, turn, Sk 1, make Sc in back bumps of chains OR make 30 foundation Sc.

Weave in all tails or use the tail at the beginning to tie a tassel.

Here’s how to make a cute tassel. Make it smaller and with fewer strands than in the video.

Charts for this Tunisian crochet lace bandana

How to use the charts

This pattern can be made by following along with the instructions, following the chart or both at the same time.

You can save and print these charts, to assemble them to form the large chart, or just follow the stitches on the same row over the 3 charts for each row.

Follow the stitches for each row individually. The full chart shows the intended shape and layout of the final project, but when working from the chart you should only look at the stitches on the current row.

Start working from the bottom and reading each row from right to left, even if you are left handed.

The return pass rows are represented on the chart with the symbol R. The first loop (which you don’t work with in this pattern) is represented with the symbol F.

Everything else is represented in the legend.
