VIDEO TUTORIAL

MATERIALS

YARN: 2 skeins of Yarn And Colors Super Charming 66% cotton yarn and 34% acrylic.

CROCHET HOOK: 5.0 mm crochet hook or the size needed to obtain the gauge.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED: 2 stitch markers, a tapestry needle, and scissors.

GAUGE

GAUGE:  Work 8 stitches and 5.5 rows in Hdc using a 4.5 mm crochet hook and an Aran weight yarn to measure 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 inches).

When you find a new crochet project that you would like to make, you usually want to start immediately. We all do. But please take some time and check the gauge. It might save your project!

Checking the gauge is a crucial step in the process of making a new crochet/knit garment. It will help you achieve the right size of your finished item. Learn how to check your gauge here.

Note: Please be careful with the gauge. The gauge is made with the moss stitch and two and two rows are merged together. At least it looks like that. However, each row is made with just one color, and not two colors.

STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS

• Sst/sts – stitch/stitches
•  ch – chain
•  ss – slip stitch
• sc – single crochet

INSTRUCTIONS

Crochet Baby Headband – Winter Ivy

The pattern for crochet baby romper is written a few simple steps:

• the panel
• the twist
• assembling.

Please, read the instructions carefully. Don’t skip any parts of the pattern, and make sure you do not accidentally lose or add additional stitches to the pattern. That might affect the final look of your design.

The Panel

The main part of the headband is a large rectangle 30 cm (11 3/4 inches) long and 7 cm (2 3/4 inches) high.

If you want to make a wider headband, to fit larger head circumferences, start with a longer foundation chain. However, always add chains to your foundation chain in pairs of two to prevent changes in the stitch pattern.

The same goes for the height. If you want to make your headband bigger, start with the foundation chain and proper stitch count there, from there on continue working in rows and adding rows in pairs of two until you reach the desired height to leave the stitch pattern intact.

Take the MC of your yarn and create a foundation chain made of 44 chains. Add 1 chain (turning chain).

Create one turning chain at the end of each row and turn your work.

Row 1: Work in back bumps. Work 1 sc into each of the next 44 sts. = 44 sts.

Row 2 (CC): Repeat [1 sc, ch 1, skip 1] 22 times. Work 1 sc into each of the last two sts. = 46 sts.

Row 3 (MC): Repeat [1 sc, ch 1, skip 1] 22 times. Work 1 sc into each of the last two sts. = 46 sts.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 three more times.

Row 4 (MC): Work 1 sc into each of the next 46 sts.

Cut the yarn and fasten off. Leave a long tail for sewing.

The Twist

Join both ends of the headband together. Fold them in half and merge them as seen in the photo. If you need more help, hop over to the video tutorial where I show two ways of creating the twist.

Take the tapestry needle, use the yarn end from the main panel and sew all four layers of the twist together.
