Perfect for cold days out on the slopes, other winter festivities, or really any season you want! This knit headband pattern is highly variable, allowing you to tailor the materials, colors, pattern, and more to suit your needs. A video tutorial is also linked at the bottom.
Materials:
- yarn (your choice of color and material, I like to use light or worsted weight acrylic yarn in neutral colors like the cream seen above)
- 5.0mm crochet hook (although this will depend on the weight of your yarn and how tight you want your stitches)
- scissors
- tapestry needle (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by chaining 7 stitches, or whatever amount that will get you to a length of 1.5-2inches.
2. Add one more chain, then skip over it and start single chaining back down the row.
3. Chain one, turn, single crochet (sc) down the row.
4. Repeat for ~74 rows, or ~76 total rows.
5. Chain one, turn, bring the starting end of the headband up to where you stopped. Insert hook into the first foundation chain of that row, then into the last sc you made. Yarn over, pull through all loops on the hook.
6. Insert hook into the next 'stitch' of the foundation chain, then the second to last sc, yarn over, and pull through. Repeat down the row.
7. Don't cut anything yet! Try the headband on, add/remove rows as needed to ensure the headband is tight enough. They're very stretchy, so you might not need as many rows as you think. 76 was just the number that worked for me :)
8. Once satisfied, chain one more time, then cut the yarn and pull the knot tight, leaving a little tail.
9. Sew in the end tails of the headband if desired (your hair may end up hiding them anyway).
And that's it!
A couple of notes on customizations before ending off:
- After the first row of sc, you can choose to only sc in the front or back loops of the previous row, creating a ribbed effect. I personally don't like the look so I didn't include that in the main instructions.
- Instead of sc, you could also use double crochet. It may result in more gaps than sc but it would look better with the ribbed effect.
- To make the edges crisper, consider single crocheting down the sides.
