Beat the summer heat with crochet - and the Lazy Summer Kerchief! Whether you call it a bandana, a head scarf, or a neckerchief (yes, that's a real word!), this free crochet pattern works to keep you cool and looks great doing it! Today, I'm sharing a step-by-step Lazy Summer Kerchief Tutorial - filmed live!

Disclaimer: Live videos are unscripted, unedited, occasionally weird, and all opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links.

This pattern was inspired by a trip I took way back in 2002! The pattern itself was released in 2015, but it seems to be having a comeback. With summer on the horizon, it's the perfect time to make this much-requested video tutorial. I used Omega Sinfonia to create the original, but today I'll be using Patons Grace, which is also a Sport weight mercerized cotton!
