Uses Of Crochet Bandana Headband Patterns
Crochet bandana patterns are wonderful for those who want to make their own. They can protect your neck from the sun or be worn as a headband. Crocheted bandanas are also great for people who have very sensitive skin. The material is soft and gentle on your skin so it won't irritate you.
You can use crochet bandanas for many different purposes. Here are just a few ideas:
- Headbands: As mentioned above, crochet bandanas can be used as headbands. They will keep your hair off of your face and help you look stylish when you're out in public.
- Scarves: Crochet bandanas make great scarves when folded in half and tied around the neck with a knot at one end to hold it in place. This style is perfect for cool summer nights because they keep you warm while allowing air to flow through them due to their open weave. They're also perfect for fall weather because they keep you warm but don't trap heat like a thick wool scarf would do!
- Scarf/Bandana Combo: By folding them into squares or rectangles, you can use crochet bandanas as scarves.
