Blaze Bandana Pattern

The Blaze Bandana was designed for my son’s girlfriend after seeing her wearing a head scarf with effortless style. I wanted to give her a handmade gift that captured her vibrant personality.

This design is a simple, yet striking corner-to-corner project, using clusters of half double crochet that create a soft, textured fabric. The glowing color way -Blaze- brings the piece to life, echoing the fiery tones of autumn.

I added a delicate picot edge to finish the design, giving it a soft decorative touch that makes it equally beautiful as a bandana or lightweight scarf. Wether worn for warmth or as a statement, the Blaze Bandana is a joy to make - and a cozy piece to wear.

Pattern

Starting Block

1. Ch 4.

2. Hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 4th ch from hook.

• The first 2 chains count as 1 hdc. Together with the 2 hdc just made = 3 hdc total = 1 block.

Row 2

1. Ch 4, turn.

2. Hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 4th ch from hook (new block).

3. Sl st into the edge of the previous block (top of last hdc).

4. Work 3 hdc into the same space. (2 blocks total)

Row 3

1. Ch 4, turn. Hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 4th ch from hook (first block).

2. Sl st into block edge, 3 hdc into same space across to end of row. (3 blocks total)

Continuing

• Repeat Row 3 structure.

• Each row starts with ch 4 + 2 hdc for the new block, then continues across by working (sl st, 3 hdc) into each block edge.

• Each row increases by 1 block, growing the triangle larger.

Finishing

• Stop when your piece is as large as you like — bandana length, shawl size, or even a blanket corner.

• Fasten off, weave in ends.

• Wet block or steam block to open stitches and smooth edges.

• Optional: add fringe, tassels, or a simple sc/hdc border.

Picot Edge

• Round 1: sc evenly around (as in option 1).

• Round 2: (sc in next 2 sts, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch — picot made) repeat.

👉 This gives a dainty, lacy edge but still minimal.
