Granny Stitch Bandana Scarf

I’m kind of a scarf junkie and this one uses one of my favorite stitches – the granny stitch. I love them both!

Scarves are versatile work horses. Wanna add a pop of color to a boring black outfit? Add a scarf! Sick of your hair blowing in your face and your ears freezing? Pull that scarf up over the back of your head and tuck it in your coat. Warm in the afternoon but chilly in the evening? Add to the Granny Stitch Bandanna Scarf until it becomes a shawl!

Did you know that if you wear a scarf you can turn your thermostat down 10° and still be comfortable?

Granny Stitch Bandana Scarf – Shawl size!

It is easy and quick to make up and a perfect pattern for beginning crocheters. You can also easily customize the size by continuing the pattern repeat until the scarf is as long as you want it to be. Add stripes, add fringe or skip the fringe and created a crochet border. It’s all up to you!

    I would like to make this shawl, but I only see instructions for rows 1,2 and 7. Thank you

      Hi Dianne,
      Sorry about that. I made these a couple of different ways and then in my head had two sets of directions going on. I hope it makes more sense now. You just continue to add a set of granny stitches to each side until it is the size you want.
      It’s the first pattern I’ve written and I need a bit more practice. 🙂

      xoxo Vicki
