Why This Headband is Great for Kids
The Unicorn Mane Headband is a door to the realm of imagination! Children will love it because of the bright colors and magical unicorn design. This makes it a perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, or “just because” moments. Whether you use this crochet headband for Halloween costumes or unicorn-themed parties, it will bring a lot of joy.
Required Materials
The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in five dreamy colors — white, pink, blue, purple, and yellow — but any palette will do. Supplies include a 1-inch plastic headband to provide a sturdy base and a small amount of polyfill stuffing to help shape the horn.
You will also need two hook sizes (3.75 mm and 5.0 mm) and a tapestry needle for sewing.
How to Crochet the Unicorn Headband
The Unicorn Mane Headband crochet pattern is easy to complete, even for those with a basic experience.
Begin by working a simple rectangle using single crochet and half double crochet stitches. Once you have it ready, sew both ends together, covering the plastic headband. The horn and ears are crocheted separately and filled with polyfill.
The curls are actually what makes this design so special. You make them using just a foundational chain and half double crochets. After completing three curls, sew them onto the headband to make the mane. Be sure to mix and match colors for a truly magical effect!
The unicorn headband should fit the head snugly. For extra support and stability, you can use a few bobby pins to secure it to the wearer’s hair.
