This crochet headband is super fun and easy to make, perfect for beginners! These headbands are so cozy and cute, I find myself wanting to make one in every color possible. Plus, the pattern is so quick that you actually can make them in every color! The stitch used for this pattern gives the headband a nice knitted look and feel. It will be constructed by simply crocheting a long rectangle and then seaming it together with a slip stitch.

Want to try out this style as a beanie too? I also have a crochet beanie pattern that’s created using the same technique and materials. My Cozy Ribbed Beanie Crochet Pattern can be found here.

This pattern is made using Vanna’s Choice yarn by Lion Brand. I also love creating these headbands with Landscapes yarn by Lion Brand. Any worsted (weight 4) yarn will work perfectly fine, just be sure to check your gauge!

This pattern is for an adult size headband. You can make smaller sizes by simply starting with a shorter foundation chain and crocheting less rows. I will be writing another pattern featuring all sizes, including baby sizes, super soon! Make sure you subscribe to my blog to get notified when the new pattern is available.

Each headband will not require much yarn. This pattern is perfect for using up leftover yarn from other projects. Also, these headbands look extra cute with pom-pom ears! Try adding pom-poms in different color combos to the top for extra cuteness! Pom-pom instructions are included at the end of the pattern.

• This headband will start out as a long rectangle that will then be sewn up.
• This pattern is for an adult sized headband. One size fits most.
• If you’d like your headband to be smaller, crochet less than the 42 rows. Make sure you still end on an even numbered row.
• If you’d like to make your headband larger, continue adding rows. Make sure you still end on an even numbered row.

Pattern:

Ch 11

Row 1: Hdc in 2^nd ch from hook. Hdc in each ch across. (10)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Hdc in each st across. Crochet in the back loops only until you get to the last st. Hdc through both loops on the last st. (10)

Rows 3 – 42: Repeat row 2

Continue to finishing Instructions. Do not cut the yarn.

Finishing Instructions:

Fold your headband in half so that the first & last rows are lined up. When folded, the last row should be facing WS out & the first row facing RS out. Create a seam with a row of slip stitches.

Fasten off and weave in yarn ends. Turn your headband right side out & you’re all done!

Pom-Pom Instructions (Optional):

Using your pom-pom maker, make two fluffy pom-poms with the same color yarn as your headband, or a different yarn for an extra pop of color. Tie your pom-poms off leaving long tails to attach them to the headband.

Place pom-poms about 4” (10cm) apart on the front of your headband. Using your crochet hook, pull pom-pom tails though the headband. Turn headband inside out and tie pom-pom tails securely.

Next, weave yarn tails back through the top of the headband and incorporate them into the pom-pom. Cut tails so that they are the same length as the pom-pom strands.
