How to make the Chevron Crochet Pattern
Yarn
Red Heart Crème de la Crème, worsted weight yarn (2.5 oz/125 yds) 1 skein each of:
- #870 Cornflower Blue,
- #910 Wood Violet,
- #400 Grey.
This version of the bandana was made using Red Heart Crème de la Crème — a worsted weight, 100% cotton yarn that’s soft, durable, and perfect for accessories like this one.
The original tutorial is made with a worsted weight yarn to give this crochet pattern structure, durability, and a sturdy fabric.
For other natural fibers or cotton alternatives (like Red Heart Crème de la Crème), I recommend using YarnSub.com to compare yarn types and find a good match for your preferences.
