Tiny Bandana Scarf Crochet Pattern: Mini Neck Scarf, Single Crochet with Side Decreases

Tiny bandana scarf crochet pattern for a minimalist mini neck scarf / small neckerchief look. This design is worked entirely in single crochet and shaped into a clean triangle by making one decrease on each side, every row. The finish is a delicate twisted edging (crab-stitch look) that keeps the border neat and defined.

What you’ll make

A trendy tiny scarf / mini bandana that ties easily at the neck

A subtle ribbed texture from back loop only single crochet

A crisp, polished outline thanks to the twisted edging finish

Skill level

Easy to Intermediate
(Simple stitches, but you need to pay attention to decreases, stitch placement, and edging tension.)

Sizing & fit (adjustable)

This pattern is fully adjustable to your neck size:

Foundation chain length = neck circumference × 3

The tutorial measures the chain length (in centimeters), rather than counting a fixed number of chains—so it works with different yarns and tensions.

Sample height from the tutorial: about 11–12 cm (you can stop earlier or continue for a deeper triangle).

Materials & tools

Yarn: 1 ball is enough (video yarn: Sofio, light and slightly shiny)
Hook: 5.0 mm (used in the tutorial)
Also needed: scissors, yarn needle (for weaving in), stitch marker (recommended)
