Fix It Up Friday: Crocheted Headband Pattern

Good morning! It is time for Fix It Up Friday again. I am so glad to have you join me. This week I am sharing a pattern I made for a crocheted headband.

My oldest daughter Julia has been waiting for a sister for a long time. She absolutely adores Janna. Since Julia loves to wear headbands I thought it would be fun to make the girls ones that match. Thus, a new crochet pattern was born.

This pattern is very simple and I am sure even a beginner at crocheting could make one. I will share two headband sizes with you and a pattern for a simple flower that could be sewn onto the headband like this.

Row 2: HDC in each stitch of previous row. Ch 1. Turn (3)

Row 3+: Repeat row 2 until headband measures 11 inches. Leave a tail at least 12 inches long.

Weave in yarn from beginning of headband. Use long tail to sew the two ends of the headband together using a whip stitch. Weave in end and cut off excess.
