Popcorn Headband
This popcorn headband pattern offers up a beautiful textured lace. It is worked in one piece from start to finish and ties at the back for a comfortable fit. It is great for all hair types and makes for a quick crocheted gift for someone on your list.
I used a brown, worsted weight yarn because that just goes with what’s in my closet. But it would look great in any colors, including a white for weddings, or in black to go with that fancy black dress that’s just waiting to be worn at your next dinner party.
The yarn is Red Heart Soft Touch, it has been discontinued, but any soft yarn like Red Heart Soft or Patons Canadiana can be used.
Although it’s an intermediate pattern, it’s not hard to make if you know how to make the popcorn stitch. As for the design, it starts with the band that fits over the head, then you make the edging and tie strings without fastening off.
