"Paige" Headband Crochet Pattern


I just love the criss-cross look of this headband! It frames your face nicely and matches any outfit!

-Makes an adult headband measuring an average head around 21"

Supplies:
- "I" hook
- Caron Simply Soft yarn
-Yarn Sewing Needle

Abbreviations Used:
-st: stitch
-ch: chain
-sc: single crochet
-hdc: half double crochet

Headband:
-ch 14
Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each remaining ch, ch 2, turn (12 hdc)
Row 2: hdc in each st, ch 2, turn (12 hdc)
Row 3-12: repeat Row 2
Row 13: hdc in first 5 st, ch 2, turn (6 hdc including ch 2)
Row 14-25: repeat Row 13, tie off after 13 rows total.

*Now attach the yarn at the edge of Row 12 and repeat Rows 13-25 on the other half of the row for a total of 13 rows, 6 hdc wide. You should have two pieces totaling the width of the headband. Cross these two pieces so you get the "criss-cross" look!

Row 26: Starting at the edge of the top of both pieces (you may have to tie off your working yarn and attach another piece), ch 2, hdc in each st across, ch 2, turn (12 hdc)
Row 27-37: repeat Row 26 (ch 1, turn on last row)

*Hold both ends together and sc the two ends together. Tie off. Sew in ends.

Ta-Da! You're done! Now how easy was that?!?!

*Step-by-Step pictures coming soon*

  1. I love your patterns, but I'm having such a hard time getting the cable "knit" crochet stitch. It's just not looking right. Maybe I'll have to watch the video you linked again. I'm a very visual person. Written patterns are so hard for me to follow, but I adore the projects so heres to a try at this headband... I need a break from the cabled one! :p

  2. Should there be an empty stich between the two criss cross pieces at row 13?

    1. No. You should have the 12 stitches split evenly into two 6 stitch pieces.
