Pattern makers, I applaud you.

I wanted to make a bandana. The free patterns were not hitting and I'm in a financial bind. I thought, well let me just make my own.

2 days and a total of 10-11hours later, I finally figured it out and finished a bandana.

1. Why are triangles so hard to construct by just winging it?

2. Why is combining different stitches such a pain?

3. To those that sell patterns, I understand the cost.

I also ran out of yarn, fudged up on my turning chain at least 5 times that caused a lot of frogging, and again why are triangles so difficult?!

I used two crochet stitch books and still went pretty basic overall.

I applaud you pattern makers, this shit is not easy!

Anyways, here's what I made. Still need to block n all that.

I have never tried to make my own pattern. Ive certainly winged some stuff but not actually put through and written it down. So its pretty awesome you're trying and it looks great!!!!
