Turn your work and single crochet across the long side, with 2 sc into each row. Weave in ends as you go. Cast off.

Ties: With a new piece of yarn, create a 22” chain. Once your chain reaches 22”, sc across the long edge of your bandana. Once you reach the end, create the other tie by chaining until it reaches 22” again. Tie off.
