Crochet Headband Tutorial







This is a tutorial for a basic crochet headband. If your crocheting skills are somewhat limited, this is the perfect pattern for you!

Lets start with things you'll need for this project:

- One skein of yarn (a four ounce skein will be plenty). For this project I just used Lion Brand Wool Ease, in "Dark Grey Marl"
- A crochet hook (Size G/4.5mm is what I used)
- A yarn needle 


Step one: Chain 9 stitches
Step two: Single crochet into stitch that is 2nd from hook, then single crochet in every stitch until end of row
Step three: chain one, turn, single crochet into all stitches until end of row.
Step four: Repeat Step three until desired length (until it can wrap comfortable around your head
Step five: Cut yourself a long tail, knot it off and then thread the yarn onto the yarn needle. Bring the two ends of the headband together and then from one side to the other side, sew the two ends together. 

Enjoy!

Here are all the steps in pictures: 


Supplies: 



Step one: ch. 9

Step two: single crochet in 2nd stitch, then single crochet until end of row. You should have 8 stitches

Step three: Ch. 1, turn, single crochet until end of row 

Step four: Repeat step three until desired length (you should be able to comfortably wrap it our your head)
 
Step five: Cut a long tail and thread your yarn needle onto it, join the two ends of your headband together and sew them together with the tail you cut. When you have finished sewing your ends together, knot off your yarn tail and sew in your ends so they are invisible. Cut off any extra yarn that may be sticking out and you're finished!




It should look like this:
