Hello, Crocheters!

Crochet headbands are one of the ultimate crochet accessories: they’re quick to make,

inexpensive and endlessly customizable. Plus, you can make a crochet headband for

winter and make an equally adorable summertime headband design in the same

afternoon! These crochet accessories are the easiest things to add when you’re looking

for a little something to complete your outfit, make a quick holiday accessory or work up

a handmade gift for someone special.

These 9 radiant crochet headbands are fun and fast to make. Work up the Fave

Crochet Twist Headband on page 5 for an easy fall design you can wear with any

casual outfit, or give the Super Easy Headband on page 11 a try and add a sweet

crochet flower for fun. If you want a cute summertime design, we have those too—my

favorite is the Goddess Rose Headband on page 16. Whether you need a headband to

keep your ears warm or you just want to add some style to your current look, you’ll find

your next favorite design in this crochet pattern collection.

For anyone who needs a quick reminder of some of the basic crochet abbreviations,

yarn over. Yarn over with the new color and draw through all loops on hook to

complete the stitch.
