Difficulty: Easy
Finished Size: Regular adult but it can be easily adjusted
Materials needed:
- 15 mm (P) Hook
- 70 grams, 37 yards/35 meters of Super Bulky weight yarn (I used Hobbii Udon)
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers (Optional)
Stitches used and Abbreviations:
CH = chain
ST/STS = stitch/stitches
SP = space
SM = stitch marker
SK = skip
SC = single crochet
{ } =indicates how many stitches go into the same stitch or used to repeat a small set of instructions between these brackets the number of times given
[ ] = used to repeat a longer set of instructions between these brackets, the number of times given
(This is only used for a full repeat, may contain smaller repeats)
Gauge: 7 STS and 6 Rows = 4”/10 cm
Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1, that is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- US terms used throughout.
- At the end of every row, there’s going to be a note with the stitch count, so you can keep track of your work easily and avoid any mistakes. It’s written in a different color, in bold.
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern or to tell you which stitches to work into or skip.
- You can easily adjust the size of your headband: make sure to chain an even number and with less number of chains you can make it smaller and with more you can make it bigger. If you want to make it wider just repeat the rows.

Sewing the ends together:
Video help: https://youtube.com/shorts/nYufwbQKm3s?si=T3GljTFxNoJygJmY
- Put a stitch marker in the middle of the short side, lay it flat vertically with the marked end on top. (Pic 1)
- Fold it in half by matching the short ends: the left corner of the other side should be on top where the stitch maker is. (Pic 2)
- Fold left side upwards on top of the top layer. (Note: keep the long tail free on top to avoid it getting wrapped in while folding) (Pic 3)
- Fold right side downwards under the bottom layer. (The right corner will be under the stitch marker) (Pic 4)
- Sew the four layers together with a whip stitch, fasten off.
- Flip it inside out.
