Sweet Pea Bandana Crochet Tutorial - PDF Pattern - Beginner Friendly

[@Poppysmicks]

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial for the Sweet Pea Bandana! In the shop, the PDF pattern and the Patons yarn available if you would like to make one for yourself. I also have some Bandanas premade too! 😘 poppysmicks.com/

[@nancyredecop8214]

I like when I see that everyone has a unique way of holding their hook and yarn.

[@Poppysmicks]

Yeah to each their own! I've been meaning to try a new way that's suppose to help with tension but I think it'll be easier on my left hand too. Will share more soon!

[@earthlinglarissa]

Just for reference in case anyone needs help! I used Lily’s Sugar & Cream yarn (size 4 cotton). The first attempt came out huge so I re-did it & skipped rows 10 & 16 which came out perfect! Going to make more using Lions Brand 24/7 cotton yarn since it’s mercerized. It’s also labeled a size 4, but in my opinion it’s closer to a size 3.

[@DMB088]

Yay I found someone who not only holds their yarn in an unconventional way, but does a yarn under after inserting the hook! I like the looks of this bandana and will try it later this week. Thank you!

[@leelahasan3988]

What a great tutorial. I've been crocheting for a few years now, but this is probably my favorite bandana pattern. 100% Beginner friendly, the camera quality is really clear and you can see every single stitch as well as how it's made. Highly recommend if you're just starting out or if you're like me and got bored on a Sunday.

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's such a fun project if you want to make something cute in a day. Happy stitching!

[@SuicuneCutie]

I have made this bandana twice now. Once for a friend and this recent one is for myself. This pattern works up so quickly and easily.

[@Poppysmicks]

I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying the pattern! Love that you and your friend now have a matching hair accessory :)

[@kasidiheiens3241]

I tried following so many tutorials for a cute bandana and this is the first one I was able to complete because of how well Nadine explains everything!!! will be making more. I made this in size 4 acrylic and it worked well! I just did 9 rows instead of 10 in the first section of rows so it didn't come out too big. can't wait to try this with a smaller yarn like she does in the video

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you so much Kasidi! ❤ So glad you enjoyed the tutorial and were able to make it in your choice of yarn. The Patons cotton is really nice to work with too. Feel free to tag me in pics on Instagram, I'd love to see what colours you chose! Happy stitching! ❤🥰

[@bunnybazooka]

I'm so glad you did that because I really wanted to make this but only had size 4 yarn so thank you for the tip!

[@jennifer3744]

Out of all the bandanas on you tube, yours is the cutest. I am also using this fan stitch in my double crochet shawl border. Thanks 👍

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you so much ❤As my first crochet design I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying it. The fan stitch would look wonderful on the edge of a shawl! Feel free to share pics on Insta or email, I'd love to see!

I made a bandana with Rowan braided yarn in pine teal and I am making several of these mostly in cashmere, merino wool and silk. My head was cooled off instantly from the sun's heat today. It was just what I needed. One day projects are fantastic 😊

[@carlabauer5732]

[@thatonegirlthatcanneversleep]

I did 2 single crochet around each end stitch or chain 3 across the whole back and 2 single crochet in the magic circle space to even it out. It ended up looking very nice and neat. I figured I'd share incase anyone else finds it helpful because I severely dislike crocheting edge stitches because of how much guess work it can be.

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you!! This is how I like to distribute them as well. I think at the time of making this video I didn't realize that was the method I was doing. So I really appreciate you putting this info out for others! ❤️

[@thatonegirlthatcanneversleep]

@Poppysmicks Ecological Art awesome! I've already made a few, and a sized down version for my toddler. I've bought yarn to make more, too! Lol I almost have the pattern memorized :) thanks for sharing it!

Mine is turning out really nicely. Thanks for the beautiful pattern and showing us how to do it! I am using smaller yarn, so mine is looking kind of lacy. :)

[@Morphotallia]

I tried it and honestly this is the best/easiest pattern I've found so far. I just cant get past where you skip (row 4-10) because i dont know whether to increase the numbers of certain stitches or not. But this has been wonderful while i fully understood❤️

omg i have this exact yarn!! yay i was wondering what i should make with it. i think instead of the braided straps i’ll try to crochet them since i’m not much of a fan of the knotted ends. thank you :)

[@craftygal365]

Beautiful pattern - loved the finished look, especially the scalloped edge. If I wanted to adjust to make a child or dog size (because now everyone needs one, lol) which rows would I remove to keep the correct stitch counts for the next section?

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you, so glad you're enjoying it! ❤️ Haha I know what you mean! So you can deduct 3 of the plain rows or in other words, you can start the checkered row on the 4th row earlier than the one in the pattern. Happy stitching! 🥰

[@craftygal365]

@@Poppysmicks Thanks so much - I’ll give that a try 😀

[@clim1338]

Do you know if this could be extended on the corners so it wrap around the neck like a handkerchief??

[@Poppysmicks]

I haven't tried extending the corners but I'm sure there's a way! However, I have worn it as a kerchief before & if you look at the photos I'm tagged in on Instagram (@poppysmicks) there's a pic of a fellow fibre friend wearing as a kerchief! Hope this helps 💕

[@sydneycampbell1775]

I don’t get what to do for 4-10 is it 2dc on the sides and twice at the top and then you increase by one dc for every row? Or does it stay 2dc for every row?

[@Poppysmicks]

For rows 3-10 it increases the same way. The ch 3 at the start of each row counts as 1 dc. So technically yes, 2 dc on both sides of the row- this extend the sides and make a triangle base. In the centre ch sp in the middle of the row it's 2dc, ch1, 2dc- this creates the top point of the triangle. I hope this was helpful! If you enjoy learning crochet patterns in a written format, I would recommend the pdf pattern which can be found here: poppysmicks.com/products/sweet-pea-bandana-pttern

[@Hadassah7000]

Lovely tutorial. I just bought some yarn for a different pattern for a bandana but then I found your video and I find you are much easier to understand, and the bandana you made is beautiful. So I don't know if my yarn will be too thick. It is size 4, requires a 5mm hook. Is this gonna look weird or be way too thick/hot? It's also acrylic unlike yours.

[@Poppysmicks]

Thank you! ❤️ Using a weight 4 yarn with 5mm hook would make the Bandana a bit bigger. You could try to compensate a bit by using a smaller hook but this would make your stitches tighter and it may not drap the same way. If you still have the receipt maybe you could exchange the yarn? Hope this was helpful, let me know how it goes! 💕

[@milicabogdanov7979]

is this okay to do with size 2 yarn? or should i modify it a bit? love this tutorial!

[@Poppysmicks]

Thanks Milica! You could try use a larger hook for smaller yarn. I used a 3.5mm so a 4.5mm hook should work well. Let me know how it goes, would love to see! 💕

[@haileyhylian8746]

This is very late but I just finished this with a size 2 yarn and a 4mm hook and it turned out perfect!!

[@3dcushions]

[@owiee3836]

Hi, just want to ask, how many holes does 10 rows has? I'm a bit confused if I already made 10 rows 8:00

[@Poppysmicks]

Hi! I'm not entirely sure which holes you mean. If you mean the center ones creating the tip of the triangle: at the end of row 10 you should have 10 holes. Hope that helps please let me know of you have any questions. The written pattern is also available on my website as well - poppysmicks.com/collections/patterns-kits/products/sweet-pea-bandana-pttern

[@irene_f.]

Can anyone help? I try to make and it comes out too short where it sits on the back of my head but when I add rows to make it longer, then it is too wide. 💜Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

[@Poppysmicks]

Hi Irene! Because the pattern is a triangle, the sides will get longer too when adding more rows. You may try doing decreasing stitches so that the amount added on the sides is less. I'm not sure what type of yarn or size hook your using but if it's different, that can affect the overall size of the bandana. Hope this was helpful! 💕

[@irene_f.]

@@Poppysmicks Thank you. I will try the decteasing. 😌

[@James-zp4vw]

I used a different hook thinking it would come out slightly bigger and it came out HUGEE

[@Poppysmicks]

Lol what size did you use? Maybe you could dress up a big teddy bear! ☺️💕

[@sarahstarnella2965]

would this work well with size 4 yarn and a 5 mm hook?

Hi Sarah! I think that adjustment should work well. The gauge is also noted in the PDF pattern for reference!

I truly appreciate that you want to keep notes, but I want to save you time! Please note that there is a pdf pattern available that includes helpful instructions and pictures. This is a great way to keep the instructions with you when you're on the go! A LOT of love went into making the Sweet Pea Bandana pattern to provide clear instructions for fellow crocheters. Purchasing the pattern is a great way to support Poppymicks as an emerging business growing a collection of whimsical patterns to share with the world 🦋💕 I'm not sure if you've heard of Ribblr? They have really cool journal feature where you can keep track of your progress and your different makes from a pattern through pictures and personal notes. This feature is also included on their mobile app! If you're interested, here is the link to their website: ribblr.com/pattern/sweet-pea-bandana-crochet/? I'm not sponsored by Ribblr.

[@Eerieversible]

this pattern is rather frustrating, once i get to row 11 i follow the pattern, dc into every 4th stitch and i get to the tip of the triangle but i only have 2 stitches left between the tip and the last cluster. i assumed the pdf pattern would be more detailed and include the amount of stitches that needs to be in every prior row, and it does not! im at a total loss

[@cristinasempereneira245]

Hello, this happened to me as well. Did you find the mistake?

[@HappyRavenEmporium]

When I encountered this problem it was because I was placing 2 stitches in the first stitch of each row but not in the last stitch. I frogged and corrected my error and it came out just right

So if you just use a bigger yarn and needle the bigger it is?

[@Poppysmicks]

Yes, exactly! Also, if you use the same weight of yarn but bigger hook, it will be slightly bigger with looser stitches. If you use the same hook but thicker yarn it bigger with tighter stitches.
