We want to make crocheting easier and more accurate therefore we created handy charts and smart calculators for you to use. Whether you need help in estimating the yarn usage or checking the right size, you will find everything you need in our Tool section. Use the hat size chart to make sure that your headband fits perfectly, even if you’re making it as a gift. Yarn calculators and other measurement guides will also come in handy while working on all sorts of projects.
Type of yarn for crochet headbands depends on the season. Wool or merino blends are excellent choices for winter headbands, while cotton, bamboo or silk are most suitable for warmer months. You should also consider the yarn weight, as it can affect the purpose and the final look.
Most headbands require around 30 – 70 grams (1 – 2.4 oz), but it depends whether you’re making the child or adult size. The amount of yarn also depends on the stitches and the width of your band. In general, headbands are perfect one-skein projects.
Absolutely! Crochet headbands are some of the easiest project and don’t require much experience. They are usually made from a rectangle and are a great way of practicing stitches without feeling overwhelmed.
All basic stitches are suitable for a crochet headband. Single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc) or double crochet (dc) are not only perfect for beginners but also versatile for all seasons. If you are after a beautiful ribbed texture, then try half double crochet in back loop only (hdc BLO), slip stitch in back loop only (slst BLO) or front post and back post double crochet (fpdc, bpdc). For decorative styles use shell, puff or bobble stitches.
Measure your head circumference or use our hat size chart as reference. Most headbands should be 2 – 4 cm (0.8 – 1.6 in) smaller than the head for a snug and comfy fit.
Twist and knotted headbands are very trendy right now. Wide ear warmers, especially with ribbed texture are also among the favorites. Whether your headband is embellished with flowers or braided stitches, it should always work for you and your personal preference.
