This requested pattern will let you crochet an elegant square mesh bandana for summer. The pattern is sized for an adult lady, but since you are crocheting a mesh triangle, you can crochet it in sizes from small to XL by increasing or reducing the number of rows. This is a simple accessory pattern with a solid edging and chain stitch ties that you can knot as a bow. Since it is that simple, needing only chain stitches and single crochet, I recommend it to beginners.
After this, you can also go with the diamond stitch mesh and try the lacy bandanas. However, I only wanted to cover the basic bandana for now. And so continue reading for the full pattern to crochet this mesh bandana for making your summer special.
Crochet Beautiful Bandana Guide: Round-by-Round Pattern
Below is the free crochet pattern for this bandana pattern from 1 to 15 rounds, and a repeat pattern guide as well. The edging pattern is in the end:
Quick Making Guide
-
Start at the bottom corner by chaining 7 and working a double crochet back into the first chain to make your first small mesh triangle.
-
Build the body of the bandana row by row, starting each new row with a chain 7 to turn, then working single crochets directly into the open chain spaces below, separated by chain 5s.
-
End every single row with a chain 5 and a double crochet into the edge to keep your straight sides growing evenly.
-
Repeat this open-mesh sequence until the triangle reaches your desired width and length to wrap around your head.
-
Crochet single crochets evenly all along the top flat edge to give the mesh a clean, sturdy border.
-
Chain a long string at both top corners to create the tie straps, cut your yarn, and weave in all loose ends.

Pattern Instructions
Row 1: Make a slip knot. ch 7. Work 1 dc into the first ch stitch made.
Row 2: ch 7 and turn your work. Work 1 sc directly into the middle of the large open space from Row 1. ch 5. Skip 1 st on the edge and work 1 dc into the turning chain to finish the row.
Row 3: ch 7 and turn your work. Work 1 sc into the first open ch-sp from the previous row. ch 5, then work 1 sc into the next open ch-sp. ch 5. Skip 1 st on the edge and work 1 dc into the turning chain stitch to finish.
Row 4 and Beyond: ch 7 and turn your work. Work 1 sc into the first open ch-sp. ch 5, 1 sc into the next open ch-sp. Repeat from * to * across until you reach the very last ch-sp. To finish the row: ch 5, skip 1 st on the edge, and work 1 dc into the turning chain stitch.
Repeat this exact row pattern. The number of mesh spaces will naturally grow by one every single row, forming a large triangle. Stop when it is wide enough to cover your head.
Or let me write the pattern so you don’t have to guess:

Border and Ties: Do not cut your yarn when you finish your final mesh row. Turn and work sc stitches evenly all along the top flat edge of the bandana to create a clean, straight border. When you reach the first corner, ch a long string of stitches until it is the right length for a tie strap.
Fasten off. Attach your yarn to the opposite top corner of the bandana, and ch the exact same number of stitches to make the second tie strap. Cut your yarn and use a tapestry needle to securely weave in all loose ends out of sight.
