The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Head Band!

I used Wool-Ease Thick & Quick from Lion Brand Yarn in the colorway Hudson bay, and this honestly is one of the most beautiful colors I have ever worked with in this line!

If you haven’t tried this one yet, then you most definitely should! (Click on the yarn image to explore the different color options!)

You’ll love how chunky this yarn is because yarn that is bulky means a project that crochets up fast. Another bonus is that it is available in quite a few different colors all of which are beautiful!

    Love this pattern! I’ve made 2 headbands and am going to attempt a hat using the same stitch. I have an average head size and start with 45 chains. I finish with a row of single crochets to tighten the outside edge and make it similar in size to row 1. The “bobbles” show best wearing it inside out. Thank you!

    Hi! Fellow crochet lover and pattern writer here. Just want to drop a note and say that this pattern is truly quick and easy and looks lovely! Any updates that were made work great, and if you are familiar with reading patterns and counting out crochet stitches, this headband will be a breeze for you and will work up quickly. I am even using my stash of chunky yarn -and a 9mm hook as recommended- (so my stitch count starts with 45 ch, which I measured around my head for accuracy 😉 – its a great pattern for an unknown yarn that long ago lost its band) I will try it with 2 strands of 3 weight yarn next. Love the site and pics and am excited to whip a few of these up for the upcoming chilly NE months. I found Easy Crochet on Pinterest and will follow some more when I’m done with my headband. Thanks for a cool piece!

    Hi, just finished this headband and it looks great. I had to add more chains too, used Joy Color yarn (available in my country) and size 7 hook. Thank you for the tutorial.

    Love this pattern. I used loops and threads cozy wool in Caribbean sea. I dropped down 3 stitches from your pattern, and I end to think yours is spot on, cause mine is snug.

    Can this same stitch be used to make a baby blanket or afghan? If so, would I chain 1 turn and repeat the previous row until it is the desired length? Thanks.

      Hi Eva,

      I haven’t tried it this stitch pattern as a blanket so I am not exactly sure how it would turn out! It is definitely something I will add to my list to try.

    If you chain 36, then the first row is the sc, 2hdc’s in the second stitch from the hook, then sk next 2 chains, there is NO WAY that you can end up with 36, there is something definitely wrong, it is a really cute pattern, just going to have to start with a lot more chains to begin!
    Thank you for the pattern though, it is very pretty.

      Hi Kristin,

      Each row has 36 stitches. It calls for 12 – sc & 2hdc’s (equals 3 stitches) clusters which equals 36 stitches.

    I was trying your pattern, I’m confused with part of the direction, says (sc, 2 hdc’s) then it says sc, hdc, hdc in next st, are you meaning (sc, 2hdc’s) or sc, hdc, hdc in next 3 sts?

    Well, I “thought” I had the sequence down, but it was SOOOO too small for my head (as another comment on this page) and I have a small head! I could not get that headband on my head, no matter how hard I tried. VERY frustrating. My stitches do not look like your stitches either. Yours make a poofy little groupings, mine are flat. I took a picture of your version, but it wasn’t until I rotated it to upside down to see the right angle of the sample. The groupings are offset of the row below! Your instructions didn’t make that clear, that I could tell. I wish I could attach the picture of your sample, upside down. THEN you could see what you tried to describe but didn’t get it clearly across. I give up……I didn’t see any instructions stated that matched the sequence of your pattern (once turned around upside down.)

      The pattern should read SL ST into the first SC not HDC. I think that was the issue. I fixed it and it shoudl work for you now. I am also putting together a step by step picture tutorial that will help too. I hope to have that posted today.

    I too, think an important detail was not included…..I have had LOTS of problems with this pattern also. I follow the directions carefully and the result is NOT lining up diagonally, like in the pictures, and.the groupings are flat & boring. I’ve tried several times, with the same result…flat, and not looking like yours.,so I give up…. The pattern is not working for me…..I really liked the look of the pattern too…

    This is such a great pattern! however I have had to greatly increase the number of starting chains to get it anywhere near big enough to fit around my head and I’ve even been using a 10 mm hook instead of 9. 45 chains does the trick for me!
