Striped Crochet Headband Pattern

June 25, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This striped crochet headband pattern is shown in the US patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. It’s simply a long rectangle that you can tie at the back for a comfortable fit.

With a pattern like this you don’t need to worry about size, thus making it perfect for gifting to friends and family. On top of that, it’s quick and easy to crochet, and you don’t need much yarn to make it.

The Pattern

The moss stitch is beginner friendly as you only need to know the single crochet and chain one spaces. It is a simple multiple of two for your starting chains, and worked in a two-row repeat.

I changed colors after each row, but you could also do the color changes after every two rows, or even work it in a single color design if you like. I did mine for seven rows, but if you decide to change colors after every two rows, then I would go with only six rows.

Finished Size

The finished Size is 41 by 2.5 inches, but can easily be adjusted as needed. It will stretch out as you wear it, so that is something to keep in mind. It is shown with one knot tied at the back.

If you’re making this for the winter you could double the length for a double wrap around the head to not only keep your hair back, but to keep your ears and head warm as well.

The Yarn

For this design I chose a cotton yarn called Nurture by Euro Baby. I get mine here at Yarn Candy Bargains. The yarn is a DK weight (#3), 100% cotton yarn. It’s a soft yarn and perfect for wearables, such as this crochet headband.

If you are making this for the winter, any acrylic yarn or even wool will work just as well. Just make sure to adjust the hook size to match the yarn if you switch to a different weight.
