Merry Christmas everyone!!! Well almost, I can’t believe that tomorrow is Christmas and the end of the year is just around the corner. This year I really wanted to focus on making most of my gifts for friends and family and this really cute Crochet Headband is one of them. It’s super simple to make and works up fast. It’s the perfect beginners project. Even if you are in a last minute frenzy this Crochet Headband can be completed in as little as 2 hours making it the perfect last minute gift.

Let’s get started on this Crochet Pattern

You will need a few things. You probably have enough yarn laying around the house to complete this Crochet Headband.

Yarn: Any #5 Bulky yarn will work. I chose to use Caron Simply Soft in the color Soft Blue. I just loved the color of this yarn and it will match any outfit. You will need 1 skein or 150 yards of what ever yarn you want to use. You can purchase it in the highlighted link above.

Scissors: Any pair of scissors that you have on hand will work for clipping your yarn. I really enjoy using smaller scissors as I can fit them in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase a pair of smaller scissors in the highlighted link.

Crochet Hook: You will need a 5.5mm crochet hook for this Crochet Headband. If you do not have a 5.5mm hook you can purchase one in the highlighted link.

Yarn Needle: Any yarn needle that you have on hand will work. I like metal ones better, they seem to weave through the yarn easier than the plastic ones. What every yarn needle you choose just make sure the eye is big enough for the yarn to fit through. You can purchase a multi pack of metal yarn needles through the highlighted link.

Abbreviations: CH (chain), SLST (slip stitch), DC (double crochet).

Now for the Free Crochet Headband Pattern

Row 1: With your 5.5 mm crochet hook, CH (chain) 20. Place 1 DC (double crochet) in the 3rd chain from the hook (this counts as your first double crochet). Place 1 DC in each stitch all the way down to the end. CH 3 and turn your work. At the end of row 1 you should have a total of 19 stitches.

Repeat Row 1 until your project measures 20″ long. Once your Crochet Headband measures 20″ fasten off your yarn and leave a tail approximately 12″ long.

Creating the Twist!

Step 1: Lay your project wrong side facing down.

Step 2: Place the bottom of the project even with the top but off to the right side ( you want it to be in the left side of the project in the middle while the right side is hanging off of the edge).

Step 3: Take the right side of the project that is hanging off of the edge and fold it around to the back.

Step 4: Next, take the left side of the project and fold it over the top if the middle piece.

Step 5: Thread your tail through your yarn needle and stitch all the pieces together along the top. I try to line up the 4 layers of stitches so I can weave my yarn needle back and froth through the stitches. Once you have come to them end fasten off with a knot and weave in your yarn tails. Note: Remember, when weaving in your yarn tails make sure to go back and forth at least 3 times so your Crochet Headband doesn’t come apart in the wash.

Step 6: Lastly, flip your Crochet Headband inside out and it will automatically create the twist in the front.

That’s it! This project is super simple to make. I hope you enjoy making this Crochet Headband as much as I did. Make sure to post pics below so I can see all your color variations.
