Crochet Bandana Top Pattern

Materials Needed

Yarn (preferably doubled) — about 2 balls or less
Crochet hook: 4.0 mm
Tape measure
Scissors

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Make a chain of 50 stitches (or adjust to your bust-to-top length by measuring from bust to top length on the side, not in a straight line).
For example, 50 chains cover 14 inches for a small/medium size.
Save

Step 2: First Row (Double Crochet Base)

Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet).
Skip first 2 chains, then work 1 double crochet (dc) into the 3rd chain.
Continue 1 dc into every stitch across the chain.
Save

Step 3: Rows 2-10

Chain 2, turn.
Make 1 dc in each stitch across, making sure not to skip the first stitch.
Repeat this back and forth for 10 rows in total.

Step 4: Decrease Rows (Starting Row 11)

At row 10 (or desired length), start to decrease on one side while maintaining a straight line on the other side.
Skip 9 stitches at the top edge before beginning decreases.
Save
Chain 2, turn.
For decrease: yarn over, insert hook in first stitch, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through remaining 3 loops — this forms a double crochet decrease (dc2tog).
Work decreases at the start of the row for 16 rows or until you have about 24 stitches left.
Save

Step 5: Continue Double Crochet Along the Straight Edge

While decreasing one side, keep 1 dc in each stitch on the straight edge without decreases.

Step 6: Final (17th) Row

After completing decreases, do a final row of 1 dc across without decreasing.
Save

Step 7: Edging (Single Crochet Border)

Chain 1, turn.
Work 1 single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire top edge.
In corners or spaces, make 2 sc to keep the edges flat and smooth.
Alternate skipping and making sc stitches as you go for a neat finish.
Save
Slip stitch to join, chain 1, fasten off.

Step 8: Straps

For the straps, make a long chain from the front edges of the top.
Using the same yarn thickness and hook, chain a length that will comfortably tie around your waist or back.
Attach straps securely.
