Step 2
Check your gauge! Crochet a 4" x 4" gauge in half double crochet. A gauge equals 16 stitches and 12 rows. Adjust crochet hook size to obtain proper gauge. Go up a hook size if too tight. Go down a hook size if too loose.
Step 3
Chain 4. Turn. Skip first chain on hook and work 3 half double crochets. Chain 1. Turn. Increase by working 2 half double crochet stitches in the first and last stitch of the row for a total of 5 stitches. Work all crochet stitches through both halves of the stitch. Continue increasing by 2 stitches every row until you reach a total of 19 stitches.
Step 4
Work even for 9". Begin decreases. Decrease by two stitches at the edge of every row until only 3 stitches remain.
Step 5
Chain 5. Attach with a slip stitch to the beginning of the last row. Single crochet 10 stitches into the loop. Finish with a slip stitch attaching it to the headband. Single crochet along entire edge of headband for a total of 144 stitches. Finish with 6 slip stitches along the base of the loop. Skip 1 stitch. Double crochet 5 stitches in the next stitch. Skip 1 stitch. Slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat from * to * to the opposite end of headband.
Slip stitch 6 stitches along the edge. Repeat Step 3. Finish with a slip stitch at base of the loop. Cut yarn and pull through final stitch.
Step 6
Sew in all ends. Sew on button.
Tip
To make your headband a bit smaller, continue Step 3 for 8 inches rather than 9 inches.
