Pattern Notes
Before you begin, read through these notes to help your project come together smoothly.
- This pattern is written using US crochet terminology.
- The bandana is constructed using full Daisy Granny Squares and half triangle Daisy Granny Squares.
- The half triangle motifs are worked flat, turning your work at the end of each row.
- The full granny squares are worked in joined rounds.
- Fasten off and change colours at the end of each colour round unless otherwise stated.
- Weave in your yarn ends as you go to reduce finishing time.
- The finished size of your bandana will depend on your yarn weight, hook size, and individual tension.
- Blocking all motifs before joining is highly recommended for the neatest finish.
- Layout diagrams for Child, Teen, and Adult sizes are included below.
- The top edge is finished with a slip stitch border, while the sides are edged in single crochet to smooth the triangle shape and create the ties.
- Because the top edge is made from half granny squares, you may need to occasionally skip or add a stitch while working the edging to keep the edge straight and even.
- You can easily make a larger bandana by crocheting larger granny squares or by adding additional rounds to each full and half motif before assembly.
Finished Sizes
The finished size of your Daisy Granny Square Bandana will vary depending on your yarn, hook size, and individual crochet tension.
Individual Daisy Granny Square Size
The measurements below are based on using DK (Light Worsted #3) yarn with a 4.00 mm crochet hook.
- Approx. 2.75 inches (7 cm) square before blocking
I made the Adult Bandana (Large)
Measurements before blocking and before stretching:
| Measurement | Size |
|---|---|
| Width (without ties) | 19½ inches (50 cm) |
| Depth (centre to point) | 12 inches (30.5 cm) |
| Each Tie | 10 inches (25.5 cm) |
| Total Width Including Ties | 39½ inches (100 cm) |
Tip: Blocking will help open up the stitches, flatten the granny squares, and give your finished bandana a little extra width.
Choosing Your Bandana Size
The number of granny squares you’ll need depends on the finished size of each motif. If you’re using thicker yarn or a larger hook, you may need fewer squares. Likewise, finer yarns may require additional motifs to achieve the same fit.
Child (Small) (dog neck Bandana) You’ll need:
- 3 Full Daisy Granny Squares
- 3 Half Daisy Triangle Granny Squares
Teen (Medium)
You’ll need:
- 6 Full Daisy Granny Squares
- 4 Half Daisy Triangle Granny Squares
Adult (Large)
You’ll need:
- 10 Full Daisy Granny Squares
- 5 Half Daisy Triangle Granny Squares
Good to know: The layouts remain exactly the same whether you use Daisy Granny Squares or traditional granny squares, and half granny sqaures. Only the finished size of each square changes depending on your yarn and hook, so always check your measurements before joining the motifs.
