Bandanas Back in Style

Whether you’re going for a boho chic, beach or cottage vibe, this summer accessory adds personality to your outfit. While the bandana or kerchief protects your hair from the sun, it is also easy to pack for travel if you want to take a break from styling your hair. It keeps your hair away from your face, framing it whether you sport a short bob, long tousled waves, or front bangs.

I crocheted the Granny Triangle Bandana for a vintage vibe, experimenting with solid and self-striping yarns. The granny square is an iconic motif from the 1970s. Its traditional pattern, clusters of three double-crochet stitches separated by chain stitches, is easy to crochet.

Fold a fabric bandana, also called a kerchief, into a strip and use it to tie a braid, a ponytail or a bun. Wrap it around your head as a headband or your neck as a neckerchief scarf. I sewed these square kerchiefs using Australian Aboriginal cotton fabrics (patterns designed by Debra McDonald and Tanya Price).
