Pattern Notes
- The bandana is worked as a triangle (from the neck edge down or from the point up).

- Keep the fabric soft and flexible so it drapes comfortably around the dog’s neck.
- Always supervise your pet when wearing accessories.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Bandana Base: With cream yarn, create a triangular shape using increases (or decreases) to form the classic bandana silhouette. Work in single crochet or a light textured stitch until the desired size is reached.
- Ties: At each end of the neck edge, chain long ties (or work a few rows of single crochet for thicker ties).
- Flowers: Crochet several small daisies with coloured petals and yellow centres.
- Assembly: Arrange and sew the flowers evenly across the front of the bandana.
- Finishing: Weave in all ends and gently block if needed for a neat shape.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring or scrub the flowers. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or iron.
