SWEET ACCESSORY

Looking for a super quick crochet pattern?! Then look no further as this sweet little headband is a fast project for you!

Made with a simple shell stitch pattern, this easy crochet baby headband is a good place for beginners to start as it gives you the opportunity to practise your stitches.

You can also make this delicate little headband in lots of different colours. And you could jazz it up even further and embellish your headband with bows and crochet flowers too, if you like.

To secure it around baby’s head, you’ll make a couple of ties – one in each corner. A little decorative flower is made at the end of each tie to add a little more pizazz!

Ties are a great option as this means that the headband can quite comfortably sit around baby’s head (you want baby’s head to be free from pressure).

HEADBANDS AND SAFETY

PLEASE NOTE: Headbands, whether they be store bought or handmade, should always be removed before placing baby in the crib (or anywhere else) to sleep.

Please also take care to monitor baby when they are wearing a headband and never leave baby unattended whilst wearing one.

This advice has been issued due to choking and suffocation concerns associated with headbands.

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terminology used throughout.
  • Two sizes are available: size 0-6 months and size 6-12 months.
  • The instructions are the same for both sizes – all you will do is use a different sized crochet hook for each age (see details below in ‘Materials’).
MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Category #3 / light worsted / DK / 8 ply yarn. I used less than 20g from 1 ball of Sirdar Snuggly Soothing, 241yds / 3.5 oz (220m / 100g) in the colour White (102)
  • Crochet Hook: size 0-6 months G (4mm) hook; size 6-12 months size 7 (4.5mm) hook
  • Yarn needle (the bent tip makes sewing much easier)
  • Scissors (super sharp… and pretty)
  • (OPTIONAL) Stitch marker (these interlocking ones will not fall out!)
FINISHED SIZE

Size 0-6 months (excluding ties, unstretched): should measure 32 cm / 12.5cm approx.

Size 6-12 months (excluding ties, unstretched): should measure 34 cm / 13.5cm approx.

    Having trouble printing your patterns. I am old so maybe it is something I am doing wrong. If you have a book with some of your recent pattern I would buy it or if you have a book on kindle. I have been able to do some items part way but then I need to go back to rewatch which some times I am not able to watch because I walk and ride the bus.
