Notes

• This headband pattern is beginner-friendly with step-by-step photo tutorials.
• You can make the pattern larger or smaller by either: changing the yarn weight and/or hook size, or adding / reducing the number of chains. Check the FREE Headband sizing chart.
• Head Circumference: Measure around the widest part of the head and subtract the desired amount of negative ease (1–2 inches).
• Example Calculation:
  • Head circumference: 22 inches
  • Desired ease: 2 inches negative
  • Headband length: 20 inches
• Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row. 
• Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
• Please note that I use US crochet terms.
