A Playful and Practical Summer Set
This crochet set features a charming, textured bandana and a matching drawstring tote bag — perfect for sunny days, weekend adventures, or stylish storage. Both are made with light cotton yarn in a fun stitch pattern that adds detail without weight.

The bandana ties comfortably around the head or neck, while the tote is roomy enough to carry small essentials in a soft, flexible shape. And here’s a bonus: by stopping early in the bandana pattern, you can also create a cute and functional headband, making this a 3-in-1 pattern!

Use them as a set or on their own, either way, they’ll bring a handmade, summery touch to any outfit or project collection.

Perfect as a quick summer make, stash buster, or thoughtful gift set!
