Happy Headband Making!
The Yarn
To make my knotted headband, I used my favorite yarn, Lion Brand Woolspun in Honey. It is a bulky lamb wool blend fiber that is exceptionally soft and easy to crochet projects with.
I have also used it to design other crochet projects like my Dreaming Clouds Crochet Ear Warmer, Chained Crochet Headband and many more! It’s pretty awesome. Promise!
If you can’t find this yarn I’d suggest using Color Made Easy as the perfect replacement! It has a similar feel to the Woolspun but without the wool!

Make 2 Headbands With 1 Skein of Yarn!
The best thing about this pattern is that you can make TWO headbands with just one skein of yarn. You could even get crazy and make even more in a few different colors as I did! (see the pictures)
That means you can make one for yourself and a friend! I love patterns like this that let you get more and I hope you do too.
Great Headband Pattern for Beginners!
This headband is perfect for beginner crocheters since it uses only one stitch (the half double crochet) throughout almost the entire crochet pattern!
Since we are only going to use one stitch it makes these headbands work up superfast and is the definition of a beginner-friendly pattern!
They seriously will be done in no time at all which makes any project even better! If you think you are ready to try this EASY crochet headband, then read on down for the full, FREE pattern!

Krista – Thank you for the knotted head band. I made one tonight and it was easy! Just what I needed for my granddaughter! Love rescued paw designs! I’m always looking for new, easy patterns! Thank you again
You are so welcome, Melissa! I am happy you liked the pattern. 🙂 Happy crocheting. 🙂
Krista
Hi, this is a gorgeous headband however I’ve tried both sides and they will not fit on a 3 – 10 year old or an adult head. I’m using very lose stitches and also the hook is the size you indicated. I’m also using the Wilson yarn! Any thoughts?
?
Hi Tammy,
Thank you for your kind words. I would first measure the headband and make sure the gauge is correct. Gauge is 4 sts for every 2″ of the headband.
Krista
What is a half crochet stitch ?
This tutorial can help 🙂 https://easycrochet.com/2014/12/10/how-to-half-double-crochet/
Simple and Easy pattern!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Thank you Abbey! I am glad you liked it! <3
This is gorgeous but I’m having a problem with the start making the circle. Do I slip stitch into the front or back of the first chain?
Hi Natalie,
You would slip stitch into both loops. 🙂
Krista
This is a gorgeous item. Thanks for posting. But I’m having a problem with the start making the actual circle. Do I slip stitch into the front or back?
You slip stitch into the the first stitch through the front loop. :0)
I don’t understand how a ch 36 can possibly for on a 3 yr or 10yr old head. Even trying to chain loosely rhis is very small.
Hi Shaunna,
You could also go up a hook size to try to make it work too! 🙂 Just try to get 4 stitches for every 2″ of headband. 🙂
Krista
If I wanted it slightly snug, would you say a foundation of maybe 40 chains would do?
Hi Brittany,
That would work!
Krista
Hi Krista , thanks for this beautiful peice of crochet . and what do these prefixes mean; sI hdc and ch ?
HDC = Half Double Crochet
CH = Chain
Sl ST = Slip Stitch
Am having a problem with the chain not stretching to fit the head. Every thing else stretches but my foundation chain. Help.
Hi Michele, I would use a bigger crochet hook for the foundation chain, then switch back to the suggested size for the rest of headband. Hope this helps 🙂
How do I size this down to make a baby sizes?
Hi Megan! I would use a start ch of about 10 to 16 inches depending on the size of the baby you are making it for. 🙂
Thank you so much for this great pattern! My ears will be grateful for the warmth as I walk in the cold weather 🙂
You’re welcome Lori! Glad you like it! 🙂
