Looking for an easy and festive crochet project? I busted out two of these in about one hour! I was working on a top and it felt like it was taking foreverrrrrrrrrrrr. I needed something quick and cute, so put down what I was working on and I whipped up a couple of these Patriotic Hair Bandanas! Instant gratification.
I used the ever so versatile granny stitch. Is there anything you can’t make with a granny stitch?
I think these girls are ready for 4th of July festivities! I used acrylic worsted weight yarn, but I think a light cotton yarn would be really nice, especially for summer. I’m a firm believer in using what you have… so I used what I had! But I think next time I go out to buy red, white and blue yarn, I’ll look for some cotton. Once I run out of my acrylic first, of course 🙂

Your patriotic hair bandannas look great! What a fun project for July 4th. Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. We’ll be featuring this at tomorrow’s party.
I just love these patriotic bandanas! Thanks for sharing the pattern! I will definitely make one for my little girl soon!
I used to wear bandanas like these when I was a child! Pinning!
Hey Breann! I’m stopping by to let you know that I featured your cute bandanas from the Celebrate the USA Link Party!
Simple and cute. Made one in Christmas colors. Will make many more. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome!!
I too use to wear Bandanas like these and I still do sometimes.
I myself wear like colors when running around doing chores, as I need a shower after running around.
I have been looking for over three days now for a cape in pink, it has your heading name at the top right corner, I have the picture but don not know how to show you what it is
Do you have instructions for an adult size?
You could probably just add one or two rows 🙂
Hi, Just love your content. Fun easy and great help with patterns. I’ve used several for myself, family and friends.
Keep them coming please,
Thanks again
Are these specifically for kids? I made one but realized it’s too small for an adult lol. Also instead of doing a chain along the bottom I started at a 25HDC foundation chain and then did HDC alone the base and finished with the 25HDC foundation chain. I felt this made it more sturdy for tying.
Thank you so much for this awesome pattern. I’m on IG (LittleStarHE) I’ll be posting the one I made!
