Summer Lattice Baby Headband ~ FREE Crochet Pattern

This adorable crochet baby headband pattern features a very simple stitch pattern that works up quick enough for a last-minute baby shower gift. It looks great on its own, but with the flower, it’s a super cute design. It’s modeled on a 6-month old, but it ties at the back, so it’s adjustable for other sizes as well. And if you need to, you can increase or decrease the starting chains in multiples of 2 for a custom length. That means you can easily crochet one for yourself too!

I did both the flower and the band in the same colors…. because I’m boring when it comes to colors. But looking at it now, I think it would look lovely if done in complimenting colors. And if you don’t like my flower, you might like this rose applique or perhaps you’ll find something of interest here at CPB: Crochet Flower Appliques.

The great thing about a baby headband such as this is that it doesn’t require much time or yarn to make one. You can use up your stash, or mix and match to match other baby items.
