Crochet Carly Headband

3.25 mm steel hook

Size 10 crochet thread

I used Aunt Lydia‘s

4 colors

Needle to weave it all in

Gauge:

Not critical

Terms/ stitches used:

Ch: chain

St: stitch

Dc: double crochet

Notes:

This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st following the last.

Each new row is began in the same end so you can keep your seam in one spot.

If you want this pattern to be larger, just add multiples of 3 to the beginning ch row (row 1).

If you’d like your headband to be wider, just repeat row 3 (with more repeats than written here) until you’re happy with the size, then move onto row 4 (with more repeats than written here). You may need to adjust the ties if you make it wider, as it will make it longer too.

The ch-70 spaces on row 4 are your ties.

You’re going to have to know how to work in between stitches for this pattern.

Final measurements:

Width: just under 2″

Length: 18″ (without ties), 27″ (with ties)
