Tools and Materials

To create your Crochet Stretchy Headband, you will need the following tools and materials:

• G hook (4 mm)
• Elastic hair tie (I got mine at Dollar Tree!)
• Scissors and yarn needle

• sc – single crochet
• sc3rdloop – single crochet in the exposed 3rd loop of the hdc in the previous round

Instructions

Row Instructions

Row 1: Attach yarn to hair tie with a sl st and chain 60. Being careful not to twist the chain, attach to hair tie with another sl st as shown.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn and work a hdc in each chain. Sl st back into hair tie.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn and work a sc3rdloop in each st, sl st back into hair tie.

Row 4: Ch 1, turn and work a hdc in each st, sl st back into hair tie.

Row 5: Ch 1, turn and work a sc3rdloop in each st, sl st back into hair tie.

(Feel free to keep repeating rows 4-5 for a wider headband)

Row 6: Ch 1, turn and work a sc in each st, sl st back into hair tie.

Covering the Hair Tie

Now we will cover that ugly hair tie!

*Working over BOTH sides of the hair tie to completely cover it, work a repeating (sl st, ch 1) 20 times across the hair tie, sl st into the other side of the headband to close. I love the stretchy look of this stitch combo.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Your headband is ready to wear!
