Bandana pattern to summon the Sun

Sun has been very very shy lately, to say the least!

Here is a crochet project to make us dream with a sunnier Spring: a crocheted cotton bandana designed to cover our heads on a sunny day. Maybe we can summon better weather with it! 😊

I have used 8/8 cotton (around 65 gsm) with a 6mm hook to keep it light and airy. It is a very adjustable pattern. When the triangle is the perfect size for you, then go to the finishing part to create the ties to wrap it around your head. You can either make less rows or more. Up to you!
