Show your support for The Democratic Republic of the Congo with a handmade bandana! This product is a digital product only. This means you will receive an interactive pattern on Ribblr but you will also be able to download a PDF-file with written instructions on how to crochet this bandana. The instructions are written in standard American crochet terms.

Right now, millions of children in the DRC are facing one of the most challenging humanitarian crises in the world. Decades of conflict, displacement, poverty, and the effects of climate change have left many families struggling to survive. Children are especially vulnerable, facing malnutrition, lack of access to education, and unsafe living conditions.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo bandana is made with a beginner friendly pattern, as you only need to know the following stitches:
- magic ring
- chain
- slip stitch
- single crochet
- half double crochet
- double crochet
- treble crochet

The materials you need:
- Fine weight yarn in blue, yellow and red
- A 3 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- A darning needle

If you use fine weight yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook, the width of the base will be 53 cm and the length will be 25 cm. The strings will be 45 cm each. Of course you can use different yarn and a different crochet hook, but the bandana will be a different size then. If you are comfortable with crocheting, you can skip some of the rows you are doing in blue.
