Chunky Headband Crochet Pattern

I know it's a little late in the season to start making winter accessories - didn't the groundhog say we've only got a few more weeks left of winter? But I seem to have lost my headband and the only solution was to make another one so here's a chunky crochet headband!

Chunky Headband Crochet Pattern

My original headband was knitted from a sort of chunky acrylic yarn. It was functional and did its job, but it was not very pretty. I had some really chunky yarn in my stash that I'd been meaning to use for a cowl or hat but never got around to it. I guess it takes a lost headband (and -15C weather) to muster the energy and motivation to get crafty.

This time I made a crochet headband that worked up very quickly. It's simple and it fits perfectly!

But once I was finished I felt like it was missing something. Maybe an appliqué flower?

I could have gone the more traditional route in terms of flower patterns but of course, I went the geeky route and chose a fire flower from Super Mario Bros.

For the flower, I used this pattern here but only made one side.

For the leaves I followed the instructions found here but made mine smaller by only making a chain of 8 (sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc).

And of course, you can always choose whatever kind of appliqué you want, assuming you want one.

Materials:

  • Super Bulky [6] yarn in colour of choice (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Fisherman White)

  • Size 6.5mm hook

  • Yarn needle

  • (Optional) Appliqué

  • (Optional) Worsted weight (4) yarn in orange, yellow, white, and green (for the appliqué)

Pattern:

Rnd 1: ch 50, hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in rest of ch (48 sts).

Rnd 2: ch 1, turn, sc in flo of each st (48 sts).Rnd 3: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st (48 sts).

Repeat rnds 2 and 3 three times or until you have desired width. Make sure it fits around your head - you may need to make adjustments to the foundation chain. Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. Choose which side you want the world to see and stitch the ends accordingly.

Attach appliqué and voilà, a brand new headband!
