Crochet Cottagecore Bandana Free Pattern: The Inspiration

It is no secret I love the Cottagecore aesthetic. Indeed, I have many times been inspired by the sweet and romantic Cottagecore trend. This romantic crochet hair ribbon I made a few weeks ago is definitely inspired by this aesthetic, just like this feminine vintage collar.

However, you may wonder what exactly is the Cottagecore aesthetic? According to the Collins dictionary definition of the word, this means “a lifestyle revolving around rural living and pursuits; a style of clothes appropriate to the lifestyle”. I love this definition! However, I would add also as a lover of this feminine aesthetic that the Cottagecore trend also has a little more substance to it!

In my humble opinion, this movement in fashion is characterized by soft and flowy fabrics, which are usually pastel and feature delicate floral patterns. It is a very sweet, simple and vintage aesthetic. I love it and I do think that my style is definitely inspired by Cottagecore.

Last year I designed this lovely and simple bandana that was really popular. Head kerchiefs, bandanas and lacy headbands are definitely a very romantic addition to any wardrobe. This beautiful shell stitch headband is also a perfect accessory if you are looking for a soft and delicate crochet hairband. This romantic headband with flowers also fits this aesthetic completely. I will definitely be making a more updated version of this crochet headband.

Crochet Cottagecore Bandana Free Pattern: The Design

This crochet bandana was such a pleasure to crochet! Indeed, I loved creating a new and more updated version of a simple accessory. Last year I created this lovely two toned crochet bandana. I loved how it turned out, using the beautiful Coboo yarn by Lion Brand. However, this year I was inclined to design a more simple head kerchief.

I love the Granny Triangle stitch. Indeed, I have used this lovely and therapeutic stitch to crochet many a shawl. A few weeks ago I made this Boho and romantic shawl using this very stitch, and I love how it turned out! It is such a simple yet classic stitch, perfect for any crochet project.

For this new bandana design, I wanted to use two colors. I decided to change color from row to row, and I used a pink and cream color and alternated them. This creates a lovely little effect that I love so much! Sometimes simpler designs can come out and look so beautiful. I think this is the case for this project. For this crochet bandana, I used Drops Muskat yarn, which I love so much! I used colors Desert Rose and Off White for this project. If you love the pink color as much as I, please do have a look at this French beret design which I made using this yarn in the pink shade.
