Simple Crochet Headband

This headband is so easy to make, and the pattern is almost the same as the necklace one.
I love the hippie style, and this is perfect for spring and summer times!
I write here the pattern for this super easy headband:

Materials:
4.00mm hook
Any Colour Cotton yarn (worsted weight)

Headband:
Ch141
Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and in the next 29chs (30sc), ch80, sc in the 30th ch from the begin of previous ch loop, and in next 29chs, ch1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in first sc and in next 29 sc, ch 80, sc in the 30sc of the previous row.
Cut yarn and weave in all ends...that's all!
Enjoy your stylish headband!
You can even make it with two or three different colors, by changing it at each end of row.
Hope you'll like it!

Thanks so much for this pattern. It's lovely. :) Made one last night in no time.

I think there may be a typo in the pattern though - is it possible that it should read in Row 1: "...sc in the 80th ch from the begin of the previous ch loop"?

I tried it as is with the 30th chain, but it didn't seem right so I re-did with the 80th chain.

Thanks for posting such beautiful things.

Hey,hi!
Well, yes, I wrote the 30th "from the begin", and maybe isn't so clear..I meant the very start of the beginning ch loop, at the end you will have 30 sc each edge and 80 chs in the middle.
Sorry if it wasn't so clear but english it's not my first language (I'm italian:)), and sometimes I just try to translate what I've thought in my language!!
Thanks so much for your comment, it will be an help for others I think!
Ciao!

Ok, I understand that you have three strands of 80 ch in the middle, this is very clear and very Sheek I might add, and soft. And then I understand that you have 30 on each end, so do you tie this in a know or a bow under your hair, or do you stitch the two ends together? I always make crotcheting complicated. My sister-in-law and myslef are so excited to wear some of these...I have to get it right

Hi Anonymous!
I tie in a knot behind my head the two simple crochet ends!
In this way you can adjust the length of the headband on your head..
Ciao!
Enjoy your headbands!!:)

Hi, I am trying to make the "Headband with Bow" and as you have said I am not doing Row 2. My problem is that I am a bit confused by your pattern. In end this is what I have:

I have a 30 end then 80 in the middle another 30 and then the long tail that has to be at least 100. Thank you in advance.

creativeyarn said...

Hi Joanna!
After the first 30sc, you have to make FROM THERE the other 80 chains and then, WITHOUT leaving the yarn from your hook, make the other 30sc on the opposite end of the first long beginning chain.
At the end you'll have the two edges with 30sc each, and in the middle two strands of 80 chains each.
Can you figure it out?
Hope so!
If it's still confusing, let me know and I'll make a picture of my headband lying flat so you'll see it done,
ciao,
Marta

Hi Marta! Thank you sooo much for explaining it to me. It makes perfect sense now and I LOVE my new headband.

Please keep up with the amazing work.

I really like this pattern! It is so simple and quick. I had a question though. I was playing around with putting the flower on the band, and I can't quite figure out how you attatched it. The way I did it, is that I more or less sewed the middle of the flower to all 3 chains. It looks alright like that, but the flower doesn't quite lay down the way yours looks like it is. Could you try and explain how you attatched the flower? Thanks!!

creativeyarn said...

Hi anonymous,
thanks for your comment!
You should sew the middle chain loop along the middle of the flower, and then the other two chain loops along the opposite petals so that the chains are a little separate one from the others and the flower is well fastened on the headband.
Hope it's clear and that it helped you!
Thanks again and all the best!

Hi, would you mind taking a picture of this or the bow headband flat on a table or something. I'm having trouble visualizing it and want to see if I've got it right. Thanks!

I love the idea of this pattern. It probably didn't hurt that the one you made and have photographed is purple :) I am a very very new crocheter and want to add a tip to anybody who may also be new and attempting to make this great project. Make sure you crochet quite tightly. I guess my chains are loose or something because once I finished the 141 chain, I noticed that the headband was long enough for 2 headbands. I stiched the 2nd row just to see if maybe I was misunderstanding but nope, it was me and my looseness. I'm going to pull it all apart and start again, crocheting as tightly as possible.

Thanks for such a quick and cute project :)

Thanks so much for sharing the pattern! I already made one, and I love it :D

Melissa said...

I really love this! It looks so easy to make but just a query. Are your chain stitches real tight? It'd be great if you could reply so THANKS!

creativeyarn said...

Hi Melissa,
yes the chain stitches are quite tight..
have fun!

Melissa said...

Hey I've just completed my headband and I love it!! I'm sorry but how do you weave in the ends? Thanks!

Hi, i'm a beginner at crochet... I don't understand this bit of your pattern... Sc in the 30th ch from the begin of previous ch loop

Could you help me please? Do i sc in the 30th chain from the beginning 141 chains, or in the 80 chains. Is this supposed to make a loop?

Grazie mille

creativeyarn said...

To the anonymous above:
hi!
You have to sc in the 30th chain from the beginning 141 chain loop to make the second sc block (there's one on each ends and the three chain loops of the headband in the middle!)..
See this example of the pattern's diagram here:

Wow - I love this pattern! I came across it just this morning, whipped out my hook and some yarn, and made myself a lovely new headband to wear today! I've already planned to make more with different colors because it's so easy and the headband is SO CUTE!

Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!!

I love this headband! I just learned to crochet last night (using a book and YouTube), but this was my first creation and the directions were really easy follow.

Thanks!
