Introducing the Caribbean Boho Crochet Bandana, a stylish and effortless accessory that perfectly complements our Caribbean Vacation Collection. This quick and easy project is the ultimate summer staple—lightweight, breathable, and full of laid-back charm.
Crocheted using a simple yet eye-catching granny stitch pattern and finished with a beautiful shell stitch border, the bandana adds a touch of boho flair to any look. It’s worked in Comfy Fingering weight yarn from WeCrochet—a soft and breathable cotton blend that’s ideal for warm weather wear. The lightweight texture ensures a comfortable fit while giving the bandana a delicate drape and polished finish.
Designed with versatility in mind, it ties comfortably around your head and is perfect for keeping your hair back on breezy beach days, adding interest to a casual outfit, or layering with your favourite summer pieces. The pattern includes a detailed step-by-step video tutorial, making it beginner-friendly and fun to create.
Whether you’re heading out for a tropical getaway or enjoying the sunshine at home, the Caribbean Boho Bandana is the perfect handmade touch.
Easy Crochet Bandana Pattern
The best part about this bandana pattern is how quickly and easily it’s to make—plus it’s perfect for stash busting! I feel like every one of my daughters went through a bandana phase in their teen years. If only I had made this pattern five years ago! I have no doubt that once the crochet along wraps up, they’ll be snatching these up in no time.
The classic granny stitch makes this pattern fast and fun to crochet. It’s ideal for school crochet classes, teaching students, or introducing the young girls in your family to the craft. I see so many teens rocking bandanas in the summer—and even women at my local markets. Bandanas are such a versatile piece, and I truly think everyone will love them!

This pattern is designed with Comfy Fingering weight yarn from WeCrochet, a soft cotton blend that’s ideal for lightweight summer accessories. While gauge is not critical for this project, it will influence the overall size and fit of your bandana. If you’d like your finished piece to closely match the sample dimensions, aim for the following gauge:
Before the shell border is added, the triangle measures approximately 15″ across the top and 7.5″ from the top edge to the point.
If substituting yarn, choose a fingering weight yarn with similar fibre content and drape. Keep in mind that not all fingering-weight yarns are created equal—some may be thicker or thinner than others.
To adjust for differences in gauge:
- If you find that you have too many stitches, try using a larger hook size.
- If you have too few stitches, switch to a smaller hook size.
- You can also adjust your stitch height by gently pulling up on your loops to make stitches longer or tightening your tension to shorten them.
Taking the time to check your gauge can help ensure your bandana turns out the perfect size and shape, especially when using an alternative yarn.

Construction
The Caribbean Boho Bandana is worked from the center out, beginning with a magic ring and constructed in rows to form a triangle shape. You’ll continue building the triangle by repeating the granny stitch pattern until the bandana reaches your desired size.
Once the body is complete, you’ll crochet the tie straps, which are seamlessly incorporated into the shell stitch edging. This finishing touch adds structure, style, and functionality, allowing the bandana to be easily tied and worn.
