I love tatting, but sometimes I get tired of making doilies and ornaments. So, I decided to create this Summer bandana tatting pattern! It’s unique, easy to make, and so cute!
This bandana is also the perfect accessory for Summer. Just picture this bandana with a cute Summer outfit.
Tatting to me seems like an almost forgotten craft. Yes, crafters still do it, and patterns are available. But, other crafts like crochet, knitting, and sewing are far more common. I mean a lot of people don’t know what tatting is.
So, I’m doing my part to help keep tatting alive and also because I just love to create new patterns. Even though some of my projects take longer than other. (And more patience 🙂
I also like to include a tatting diagram in my patterns. Because some tatters prefer the diagram to the pattern.
Save this cute tatting pattern for later Here.
Materials Needed
- Crochet thread size 5
- tatting shuttle or tatting needle
- Small scissors
- You can also purchase the ad-free PDF on my Etsy Shop Here
And here is the tatting diagram if you need it.
This pattern is for intermediate tatters. And you’ll need to know the basics of tatting rings, chains, and joining picots.
The finished bandana is approx. 12″ wide and 7 1/2″ long.

- ds = double stitches

Now, that you got the bandana part done you’ll probably need to block the piece. I like to just use water and stretch out the piece instead of using starch.
Making the ties
R: 12ds.
And then start tatting a chain and tat until the chain and ring is 12″ long. Connect the end of the chain to the corner picot of the bandana. Tie and weave in the ends.
Make another one for the for the other corner.
And now you have a finished Summer bandana!
