How to Crochet Winter Headbands

Crocheted winter headbands are an attractive way to keep your head and ears warm during winter months. Whip up a bunch of these headbands in different colors. You can create one for every color in your wardrobe over a weekend. Make some to give as holiday gifts. For a luxurious headband, use an alpaca and silk blend with a size F hook. Angora will create a fuzzy headband. Get creative and try fun fur or eyelash yarn to create a furry, glittery project. An hour is all the time you need to create a one-of-a-kind crochet winter headband.

Things You'll Need

• Bulky, heavyweight yarn, No. 6 weight
• Crochet hook, size H
• Darning needle
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Attach the yarn to the crochet hook with a slip knot. Make 21 chain stitches. If using fun fur or eyelash yarn, fluff the yarn to keep the fringe out of the stitching.

2. Make a single crochet stitch in the second chain stitch from the hook. Continue to make single crochet stitches in each of the chain stitches. When you get to the end of the row, turn and make one chain stitch.

3. Make a single crochet stitch in each of the previous stitches. At the end of the row, turn and chain one. Repeat this row until the headband is about 18 inches long.

4. Join the two ends together using slip stitches. Fasten off the yarn and weave the loose end through the stitching with a darning needle to secure it.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want a headband that ties instead of being in a loop, do not join the ends together and add yarn ties to each end.
