Having made many of these myself, I can safely say that these bandanas make the perfect accessory, and they are incredibly straightforward and easy to make. What I love about this pattern is how simple it is to change it to your own preference, adding on or taking away a few rows, or even making the strings longer. I personally like a long bandana as I want it to cover a lot of my hair, but it is entirely up to you!
Now, when it comes to the yarn I recommend using one that is very soft and giving - what you don't want is a bandana that sticks up in the air and won't bend! The yarn you use does not have to be expensive either. Believe it or not, my favourite yarn is one I discovered at Aldi. It's part of their So Crafty range, and I am in love with it. It is beautifully soft and it doesn't drain the bank (which is always a plus). You can also use the Pound Shop yarn which is extremely supple and is brilliant for garments.

Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked in UK terms (you can find my post explaining the difference between UK and US terms here).
The chain 3 at the end of each row does count as a stitch.
Method:
Row 1:
Begin by making a magic ring. (if you are unsure how to do this, check out my post here).
Chain 3.
Make 2 tr into the magic ring.
Chain 3.
Make 3 more tr into the ring.
Pull your ring closed. Chain 3 and turn your work.
Row 2:
Make 2 tr in the first stitch.
Chain 1.
Make 3 tr into the top chain 3 space.
Chain 3.
Make 3 tr into the same space.
Chain 1.
Make 3 tr into the last stitch.
Chain 3 and turn your work.
Row 3:
Make 2 tr into same stitch.
Chain 1.
Make 3 tr into chain 1 space.
Chain 1.
Make 3 tr into the top chain 3 space.
Chain 3, and make 3 more tr into the same space.
Chain 1.
Make 3 tr in the next chain 1 space.
Chain 1, and make 3 tr in the last stitch.
Chain 3 and turn your work.
Row 4:
Make 2 tr in the first stitch.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the chain 1 space.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the chain 1 space.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the top chain 3 space. Chain 3, and make 3 tr in the same space.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the next chain 1 space.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the next chain 1 space.
Chain 1. Make 3 tr in the last stitch.
Chain 3 and turn your work.
Row 5 - 20:
You will repeat this process for the required rows. Make 2 tr in the first st, 3 tr in each chain 1 space with a chain 1 to separate each tr cluster, 2 tr clusters at the top corner with a chain 3 to separate, and 3 tr in the last stitch, with a chain 3 to turn.
When you get to your last row, only make 1 chain at the top corner instead of 3 chains. I find that the bandana looks better if this is done.
For the strings and the border:
String 1:
Chain 60 (if you want, you can chain more, or less, depending on how long you want them).
Starting in the second stitch from the hook, make 1 dc in each stitch along.
Now, working along the bottom of the bandana, dc along until you reach the other side (the amount of dc you make will vary depending on how many rows you have made).
String 2:
Repeat as you did for the first string.
Working up along the edge of the bandana, make 1 dc in every stitch. When you get to the corner, make 1 dc in the chain 1 space and, working along the other edge, make 1 dc in each stitch.
Sl st in your last stitch, fasten off, cut the yarn, and weave in your ends.
And there you are! Your beautiful crochet bandana is now complete.
