Making The Chunky Crochet Headband
Materials Needed:

- Approximately 75 grams of chunky yarn (adjust yarn type as desired, ensuring it's chunky)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
Step by step Pattern
Steps to Create the Headband:
- Create a slip knot and chain 16 stitches to start.
- Row 1: Single crochet into the second chain from the hook and each chain across. You will have 15 stitches at the end of this row. Chain 1 and turn your work.
- Row 2: (Texture Pattern Begins)
- Single crochet in the first stitch.
- Chain 2, then single crochet into the same stitch.
- Skip one stitch, single crochet in the next, chain 2, and single crochet in the same stitch again.
- Repeat from * across until the end of the row.
- End the row with a single crochet, chain 1, and turn your work.
-
Row 3 and Beyond:
- Work directly into each chain two space from the previous row, following the texture pattern established:
- Single crochet, chain 2, single crochet.
- Continue the pattern across, ensuring you're working into each chain space.
- Repeat the process for each row until the headband reaches the desired length, typically around 19 inches or adjust based on sizing needs.
- Finish the final row with a single crochet in each of the chain two spaces, placing two single crochets in each space to create a neat edge.
- Work directly into each chain two space from the previous row, following the texture pattern established:
-
Finishing Touches:
- After completing the necessary length, fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
- Fold the headband lengthwise, aligning each of the shorter ends.
- Sew the ends together with a tapestry needle, catching all layers to create a twist. Visualize it as two loops interlocking (forming an "S" or two mouths meeting).
- Secure the sewn parts and weave in the ends neatly.
-
Final Adjustments:
- Turn the headband right side out, ensuring the twist sits nicely at the front when worn.
Additional Tips:
- Adjust the number of starting chains depending on the thickness of the yarn if different from chunky weight.
- Be sure to measure as you crochet to make sure the headband will fit comfortably.
