Materials You Will Need

• 1 or 2 balls of yarn in your choice of colour/s and weight
• Crochet hook (correct size for the yarn you’re using)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Child Size Instructions

Make a series of chains that will measure about 19.5″/50cm long (from the 1st chain to the last chain). Skip the first 3 chains and work 1 double crochet (US term) in each of the next chain stitches until the end. Chain 3 then slip stitch to the base (foundation chain – refer to below photo to see where you need to make your slip stitch). Fasten off, make a knot and weave in yarn tail.

Make 3 strips, ensure to leave one strip with a long tail (about 15″/40cm) for sewing.

Adult Size Instructions

Same method as above; however, your chains will need to measure about 23″/59cm long.

Make 3 strips, ensure to leave one strip with a long tail (about 15″/40cm) for sewing.

Notes

• Use the foundation double crochet method if you know how, rather than making single chains at the start.
• I used 8 ply yarn and a 4mm crochet hook for this headband – I ended up with 83 chains to measure 19.5″.
• Don’t make the braids too tight or too loose – a nice, relaxed tension will do.

Once you’ve made the 3 strips, it’s time to braid the headband.

At the start, we skipped the first 3 chains then worked double crochets in each chain stitch along and at the end we chained 3 – we will use the spaces between the chains and stitches to join the ends together.

Steps to Braid the Headband

1. Gather your strips and using the long sewing yarn tail, sew through all 3 strips on one end (sew through between those 3 chains and stitches).
2. Place your strips on a flat surface. Put a little heavy weight on top so the strips don’t move (optional).
3. Braid the strips together all the way to the end.
4. Bring the 2 ends of the headband together.
5. Using the same sewing yarn tail, sew through all 3 strips of the other end (sew through between the 3 chains and stitches).
6. Sew the ends together by weaving the tail in and out through both ends of the strips about 5 times.
7. Wrap the tail tightly in the middle about 6 – 8 times.
8. Sew the yarn tail through the back.
9. Make a tight knot to secure it. Hide yarn tail and snip excess yarn.
