Crochet Headband

This headband is super easy and SOOOO cute on your little chicklet! It's a great way to introduce your chicklet to crochet as well. Mine was so excited by this headband she was eager to learn how to make them herself.

What you'll need: Medium weighted yarn (I used cotton yarn), Crochet hook G (4.00 mm), Measuring Tape, Yarn Needle, Scissors

Tips:

  • Yarn will stretch so take our a few chains when measuring.

  • It's important to measure the wearer's head. So chain as many as needed to fit around the wearer's head. The one I made was for my daughter, so I went with 70 ch's. Just make sure to have an even number of chs.

  • In Rnd 1 instructions, be careful not to twist the chain when connecting with sl st. I did this and I didn't realize it until the headband was finished. I had to start over.


Headband Pattern:

Rnd 1: Ch 70, Sl st in first ch.

Rnd 2: Ch 4, skp 1st chain, *dc in next ch, ch 1, skin 1 ch*
Repeat all the way around.
Sl st in 3rd ch of beginning 4

Rnd 3: Ch 4, skp 1st ch, *dc in next dc, ch 1, skp 1 *
Repeat all the way around
Sl st in 3rd ch of beginning 4

Fasten off, weave in yarn tail and snip with scissors


Flower Pattern

Rnd 1 - Ch 4, sl st in first ch

Rnd 2 - Sc in center of ring 8 times

Rnd 3 - Ch 4 (or more depending on how long you want the petals), sl st into next ch.
Repeat ch 4 and sl st in each ch all the way around. Should have 8 petals when done.

Fasten off, weave in yarn tail and snip with scissors


Final Step: Using yarn needle attach flowers to headband, tie off and sip extra yarn with scissors.
