This crochet bead and lace tie headband is quick and easy to crochet up. It’s got a bit of an open stitch for a bit of lace, along with a row of textures going across.

The crochet headband ties at the back, making it great for a comfortable fit. And it’s great if you’re making it for gifts, because the size doesn’t have to be exact.

I’ve provided you with two yarn options and hook sizes to make this in two sizes. However, it’s easy to customize. The width of it remains the same, but you can crochet this headband to any length that you want simply by increasing your beginning chains.

The Finished Size

The finished size is 13.5″ from point to point and 2.5″ wide.

If you want a narrower band, you can work it up in a size 3 thread using a smaller crochet hook. I used an E 3.50mm hook with the thread. I started off with 52 chains and followed the pattern. As for the strings, I chained 60. The finished measurement came out half an inch shorter than the original. However, it stretches more, so it’ll even out. As for the width, it came out to 1.75″. Scroll down to below the pattern to see the image.

The Yarn

As for the yarn, I used a cotton polyester blend. I got it on sale at Walmart and bought a whole bunch of it, but I have no idea what brand it is. However, it is about the same thickness as a medium weight yarn.

I worked mine with a 4mm crochet hook, so any yarn that can be worked with that hook should work. Caron Simply Soft is one yarn that comes to mind.

The Stitch Pattern

This crochet headband is worked in rows for the top part. It starts with a row of single crochets, followed by a row of half double crochets and chain one spaces. Then another row of single crochets and then the bead stitch bobbles in the middle row. Then work the next few rows in reverse order.

The bead stitch is a long extension of the single crochet stitch and is very easy to make once you know the basics of crocheting. Here is a photo tutorial on how to make the bead stitch.

If you want to make it pretty, you can work the bead stitch row in a different color yarn.
