Crochet Sweetheart Headband

Supplies

Special Notes

*Pattern is written for Child Size, with Adult Size in parentheses. *Grid pattern will be worked from the bottom up. The beginning grid stitch is marked with an X in the grid image. Each square in the grid is 1 single crochet stitch. Switch colors as indicated. Carry over your previous color yarn when you switch colors. This means to just bring the strand along with you, crocheting right over it. It’s okay. It won’t show up.

Pattern Instructions

Ch 62 (68)

Row Instructions

Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook, and in each across. Turn. You will have 61 (67) sts.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in the next 26 (28) sts. You will now begin in the lower right square of the grid. Work as indicated. When you have finished stitch # 35 (37), continue with sc in the next 26 (28) sts. Turn.

Rows 3-9: Work as row 2, adjusting rows according to the grid pattern.

Rows 10-11: Ch 1, sc 61 (67). Turn. Finish off, leaving about a foot long tail for sewing.

Finishing

Cut your red yarn, leaving an 8 inch tail. Using your yarn needle, thread the tail. (I like to make a little knot here, just to make sure the yarn is secure and won’t unravel.) Use the needle to finish off and weave in the ends.

Using your yarn needle, thread the long white tail. Use it to sew the ends of the headband together, using a whip stitch. Finish off and weave in all ends.
