Alright, it's almost christmas and maybe you already crocheted the Anna from Arendelle hat en stille searching for something for a boy?
Wel, i've got the perfect pattern right here!

Materials

• Yarn in the color's green and blue, red, purple or orange for the bandana
• Hook 5mm
• Tapestry needle

Gauge
4 x 4 inch = 12 stitches x 8 rows

This pattern is written for a child age 6 -  10 years. For a smaller or langerak you have to start the normal rounds earlier or later and finish a row earlier or later at the end. 

!. Important: always start and finish your round in the same stitch as the chain 2, this way you get a invisible seam. And never finish in the chain 2 but always in the first double crochet.!
