Notes
- This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st following the last.
- The headband and flower are crocheted separately; then sewn together at the end. What a fun way to add a feminine touch to any style.
- Each new row is began in the same end so you can keep your seam in one spot.
- If you want this pattern to be larger, just add more chain stitches on the beginning ch row (row 1).
- If you’d like your headband to be wider, just repeat rows (with more repeats than written here) until you’re happy with the size.
How to Crochet a Headband
Crocheting a headband is easy since they can be made quickly with easy stitches . Here are the basic steps of this free crochet headband pattern:
- Chain a given number of stitches for the size headband you want to make
- Connect the chain together to form a circle
- To start the first round work the stitch indicated in the pattern
- Continue working the pattern until down.
- Fasten off and weave in loose ends with a yarn needle.
I recommend using the correct gauge, or stitches per inch, for the proper fit. This is a critical step for this project. If this headband is crocheted too loosely, it will be too big, if the headband it is crocheted too tightly, it will be too small.
This crochet headband will soon become a favourite for you and your family!

Crochet Stitches for the Headband Pattern
This headband pattern is fast to work up, easy to crochet because it uses simple stitches, and has a basic repeat row pattern. The simple crochet stitches plus the row repeats in this headband pattern make this project an excellent choice for beginners to try, especially for those who want to make something in the round.
The pattern uses a chain foundation and linked double crochet stitch (LDC). Do not worry if you’re unfamiliar with the stitches; the pictures will guide you through the stitch easily.
Linked Double Crochet Stitch
Linked Double Crochet Stitch is a great stitch because it’s got the height of double crochet stitches, but because each stitch is linked, or joined in the middle of the post, you don’t get the holes and gaps you get with standard double crochet stitches. It creates a much more solid fabric than double crochet, without the thickness or stiffness of single crochet. Here’s how it’s done!
To make the first Linked Double Crochet in the foundation chain: Ch 3 and insert the hook in the 2nd ch from the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop.
Insert the hook in to the base of the chain 3 , and yarn over and pull up a loop.
Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops on the hook (as for a regular double crochet).
To make the next Linked Double Crochet: Insert the hook down through the horizontal bar in the center of the stem of the previous stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. Insert the hook into the next chain, and yo and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops on the hook.
Repeat to the end of the chain.
