Slanted Cluster Crochet Headband Pattern

This crochet headband pattern is given in one size only. But it ties at the back for a custom fit making it great for children and adults. It’s perfect for anyone with short or long hair.

I’ve been working on cleaning up my yarn stash and found one ball of Patons Silk Bamboo yarn. It was just enough to make the band as shown, without an edging. Personally I think it’s fine without one, but I’ve included instructions if you want to do one.

The Stitch Pattern

It’s a very simple pattern which consists of the single crochet, double crochet and the slanted cluster, also known as the bead stitch.

The slanted cluster is basically a puff stitch worked around the base of a double crochet. It is slightly different because it puff slants sideways and the stitch is also closed a bit different. But the “puffy” look is very similar.

Also, note that in the slanted cluster row I have added an extra stitch. Then for the next row I did a decrease at the end of the row to keep the stitch counts even.

The pattern is worked in long rows to make a long rectangle.

Sizing

The finished size is 42 by 2.25 inches without an edging. The stitch multiple for the length is a multiple of two for the starting chains. The length is easy to adjust, but the width is a set number of rows.

The Yarn

Patons Silk Bamboo is shiny as well as strong, but anything similar will work.

I would recommend to stick with a DK (#3) yarn to maintain the width that it is at. With that said, if you prefer a wider band use a thicker yarn, and vice versa.
