Here is a free simple pattern on how to crochet an easy bandana with triangle shape and a crochet mesh stitch that I invented.
It’s a good idea to measure on your head as you go – stop the increases and continue with no increase rows, when you have the width you want. Mine suits about a 56 cm head cirumference.
If you are able to, you can donate small or big amounts to say thanks for the pattern, this way I can continue to share free patterns:
Hook: 3 mm
Yarn: Sport/fine, 50 g = 140 m. I used wool for a stiffer look, but you can use any yarn. 19 grams.
Stitch: Ternion stitch – but instead of making the stitches in the chain (between the dc) you make them into the sc.
See tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDmk8zYBvU4
1 ternion stitch is made the following way: *1 dc, 1 sc into the side-loop of the dc, ch 1*
When it’s the last stitch in the row you finish with 2 ch instead of 1 (counting as the 2 turning chains).
Increase: By making 2 stitches in the first and last stitch on every 2nd and 3rd row all the way through.
After every row: Ch 2. Doesn’t count as a stitch, first stitch is made in the last sc of the row before.
Crochet tube top pattern can be found here.
Each increase row is made in bold:
Row 1: Ch 2, make 2 ternion stitches into the 2nd ch from the hook, ch 2 at the end, turn.
Row 2: 1 ternion stitch in the first sc, 1 ternion stitch in the last sc, ch 2, turn.
Row 3: 2 ternion st in the first sc, 2 ternion st in the last sc, ch 2, turn (4 st on the row)
Row 4: 2 ternion st in the first sc, 1 ternion st in the next 2 sc, 2 ternion st in the last sc, ch 2, turn (6 st on the row)
Row 3: 1 ternion st each of the sc on the row, ch 2, turn (6 st on the row)
Now repeat this pattern: 2 rows of increase where you inc with 1 extra st in the first and last sc stitch, followed by 1 row with no increase, until you have 29 rows. Now you make the one strap – don’t break off.

Hook into the side of your row, yarn over, pull through. Yarn over, pull through 1 loop, yarn over pull through both loops. Hook into side of the stitch and repeat (sc chainless foundation).

Continue until you have 58 stitches, break off.
Insert hook where you started the strap and make a sc-edge (approx 1 sc per row) down to the bottom point of the scarf – make 3 sc in the point (your first row) continue sc and when you reach the opposite side make the same strap. Break off and weave in ends. Pull the edges to straighten the scarf.
[…] If you want the easiest possible lace bandana that still looks chic, the Crochet Bandana with Unique Mesh Stitch by Matilde at Matidenmark is a lovely option. It’s a classic triangle worked in a custom mesh stitch – basically airy chains and simple stitches – that grows quickly and feels light as a feather. The mesh gives you that lace vibe without needing to keep track of complicated charts, and because you work it from the tip up, you can just stop when it’s big enough for your head. In plain cream it reads as soft cottagecore; in stripes or subtle fades it becomes a modern statement piece. This is a super flexible idea: make it a bit larger and you’ve got a skinny summer shawl; stop earlier for a petite kerchief. The openness of the mesh also means it dries fast, so it’s a nice option for beach or pool days where things might get a little damp. Tutorial. […]
