Bandana Construction

Chain the following number of stitches based on desired size:

• Small: 35 stitches
• Medium: 40 stitches
• Large: 45 stitches

Row 1: Double crochet in the 4th chain from your hook, double crochet in each chain across (total stitches will include 2 skipped chains plus remaining chains).

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), turn, and double crochet in the next stitch. Continue double crocheting across the row.

Row 3: Change to your second color. Repeat Row 2, alternating colors every two rows for a total of 6 rows.

Row 7: Change to your third color. Continue double crocheting for an additional 4 rows.

Creating the Point

Next, you’ll create the point of the bandana:

• Row 8: Chain 3, skip first stitch, double crochet into the next stitch. In the last stitch of the row, add 3 double crochets (this creates the point).
• Row 9: Turn, chain 3, double crochet back across the row without increasing.
• Row 10: Repeat Row 8 to create another point by adding 3 double crochets in the last stitch.

Continue alternating rows until you reach desired length and finish with a solid color to ensure easy tying around the neck.

Finishing Touches

Fasten off yarn, weave in all ends with tapestry needle, and steam block if desired for a polished look.

Tips:

• Customize with fun colors or patterns!
• Add embellishments, such as buttons or appliqués, for an extra unique touch.

Your pet will surely love their new stylish bandana!
