Hi gang!  Today’s blog post brings you this cute Crochet Granny Square Headband. It’s warming up here in Montana, but we still have cold mornings. I needed something to keep my ears warm while taking my fur babies out on morning walks. I decided to create this Crochet Granny Square Headband for that purpose. First of all, Granny Squares are super simple to make and easy to learn even for beginner crocheters. Second, this Crochet Granny Square Headband worked up super quick. I chose bright colors for this Crochet Granny Square Headband since it is spring. The fun part is you can mix up the colors to what ever tickles your fancy! Get Creative and have fun making this Crochet Granny Square Headband.

Crochet Granny Square Headband Supplies

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn.  I chose to use Red Heart Super Saver in the colors: Oatmeal, Amethyst, Shocking Pink, and Pumpkin Orange. You can purchase these yarns in the highlighted link.

Crochet Hook:  5mm crochet hook.  Any brand that you have is okay.  I really love the crochet hooks right now with the silicone handles. You can purchase them in the highlighted link.

Yarn Needles:  Any yarn needle that you have on hand is great.  I like the metal ones better than the plastic ones.  They seem to weave through the yarn a little easier than the plastic ones.

Craft Scissors:  Any pair of scissors you have on hand is great.  I do like the smaller 4 inch craft scissors.  They fit perfectly in my crochet bag with my hooks making it easy to take along everywhere I go.

Pattern:  Written in US terms.

Difficulty:  Easy

Size:  One size fits most adults. 

Note:  For a larger headband go up a hook size and for a smaller child size headband go down a hook size.

Now for the Crochet Granny Square Pattern

For the Granny Square Make 5

Round 1:  With your purple yarn, create a MC(magic circle).  CH (chain) 2.  Place 8 DC (double crochet) in your MC.  Pull the tail tight to close up the circle and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first DC.  Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.

Round 2:  With your pink yarn, attach anywhere on the previous round.  CH 3 (remember this counts as your first DC).  Next, place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC (this creates your first corner) in the CH 3 space.  In the next stitch you are going to place 2 DC.  For the next stitch place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC all in the same stitch (this creates your second corner).  Now, place 2 DC in the next stitch.  In the next stitch we are going to make another corner by placing 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC.  Place 2 DC in the next stitch.  You now have one more corner left to make.  Place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the next stitch.  Finally finish off with 2 DC in the last stitch.  SLST to the top of the CH 3 at the beginning.  Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.

Round 3:  With your orange yarn, attach in a corner CH 1 space.  CH 3, place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the CH 1 space where you just attached your yarn.  This creates your first corner.  Next, Place 2 DC in the spaces between each of  the 2 DC clusters from the previous round.  Now, repeat the process of placing *2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC* in the CH 1 spaces of the corners and 2 DC in each space between the double crochet clusters from the previous round.  Continue doing this until you come back around to the beginning.  SLST to the top of the CH 3.  Fasten off your work and weave in your yarn tails.  

Round 4:  With your Oatmeal color, attach your yarn in a corner space.  CH 3.  Place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the CH 3 space.  Now continue to place 2 DC in each space between the DC clusters.  When you get to your next corner space you will place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the corner space (the CH 1 space).  Repeat by placing 2 DC in each space between clusters, when you come to a corner space you will create another corner by placing 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC.  SLST to the top of the CH 3 at the beginning and fasten off your work.  Make sure you weave in your yarn tails.

Putting The Headband Together

Step 1:  Take 2 squares and place them wrong sides facing each other.  Attach your yarn through the back loops of the top stitch on each square.  CH 1 and place 1 SC (single crochet) in the CH 1 space.  Now, continue to SC all the way to the other side stopping after you SC in the corner.  Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.  Repeat the process until all 5 granny squares are attaches. 

Step 2:  You have all 5 of your granny squares attaches so, next, you are going to attach the 1st granny square and the 5th granny square together.  You will do this exactly like you did when you attached each individual granny square together.  DO NOT fasten off your yarn. 

For The Boarder

CH 1 and SC in the CH 1 space.  Now, place 1 SC in each stitch all the way around the top of the headband.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.

Now, attach your yarn anywhere along the bottom of the headband.  CH 1 and SC in the CH 1 space.  Place 1 SC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.
