FILET CROCHET PATTERN: Mesh Lace Hair Covering Head Kerchief Scarf

FILET CROCHET PATTERN for a lightweight summer hooded kerchief worn over long or curly hair to hold it in place. A modern combo of a basic lace Bandana, a trendy mesh Durag and a vintage ‘Babushka’ head scarf is a perfect Bad Hair Day Hat! With the same product, you can create several looks just by tying the straps in different ways: - cross the straps under your chin and tie them in a knot at the nape of your neck under or over the scarf cloth; - shorter straps are suitable for the vintage ‘Babushka’ scarf (where the kerchief is tied in a knot under the chin or at the back of the head under long hair), as well as for a headwrap that is tied at the back of the head over the crocheted piece (similar to a Durag).
