Measuring Your Head

For the headband to fit snuggly, it should be 5-8 cm (2-3 in) smaller than your head circumference. As the general guideline, you can use our Hat Size Chart.

For example, my head circumference is 56 cm (22 in), and my headband is 50 cm (20 in). Feel free to add or reduce the number of rows if you need.

Pattern Notes

This is a beginner-friendly project and the pattern uses standard US terms.

Ribbing Part:

Using the white yarn:

Slip knot, ch 9

Row 1: hdc 8 in the back bumps, ch 1, turn

Row 2-56: hdcBLO 8, ch 1, turn

At this point, you can adjust your headband size. Do as many rows as your head circumference. Keep in mind that the ribbing part is a little bit stretchy so, in the end it might be longer than you expected. I advise making 3 rows less than your head size.

Crown Part:

*[sc, dc, dc] means you need to do sc and 2 dc in one stitch.

Change the color to light pink, start to crochet on the side of the ribbing.

Row 1: ch 1, sc 85, ch 1, turn (85)

Row 2-5: ([sc, dc, dc], skip 2) 28x, skip 2, sc, ch 1, turn

Row 6: sc 85, change the color to white, ch 1, turn

Row 7: slstBLO 2, (skip 2, tr 6 in one st, skip 2, slstBLO 7) 6x, skip 2, slstBLO 6, ch 1, turn (85)

Row 8: slstFLO 9, (picot, slstFLO 13) 6x, picot, slstFLO 5, fasten off.

After finishing row 8, now the “the wrong side” is facing you. Of course you can choose which side looks better for you. Join two sides together by slst along on the “wrong side”. Fasten off, cut the yarn and weave in ends to hide them. Flip the crown on the “right side”.
