WELCOME HERE!

Hello there! I've been thinking a lot about what my first crochet pattern should be on my blog. I wanted something simple but sweet and delicate. I really like granny squares, I think these are very useful and beautiful. This is a very cute crochet bandana that I'm calling the 'Sunburst Granny Bandana'.

I know there are a plenty crochet bandana pattern out there for free, but I think that the bandana's I've made for myself are slightly different from the majority of ones you can find out there. And this I make mine with a yarn which belong group B (worsted), I feel looks better and it's easier to wear because it's not heavy.

NOW, let's get started!
