Crochet pattern for a headband





This headband is ideal for beginners.

If you can already crochet single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet, then this headband will be quick to make. The pattern consists of just one row that repeats continuously.

I used 50 grams of yarn to make a headband for an adult. For example, I crocheted with Rowan Baby Merino Silk (135 m / 50 g) and a size 4 hook. Click here for the pattern and information on alternative yarns.

This hat is quite simple, as it’s knitted using only knit and purl stitches.

You should already have a little practice with a set of double-pointed needles, and stitches are also knitted together for decreasing. The pattern is described in detail; you’ll be guided through the project round by round.

I knitted my hats using yarn with a yardage of between 110 and 130 m.

Here you’ll find the pattern and more information about the yarns used.

The little airplane is a great way to use up leftover yarn and is super easy to crochet, so even beginners will be able to make it without any trouble. You can start with just one airplane (e.g., as a keychain or bag charm). Once you’ve had some fun with it, crochet several more in lots of bright colors and string them together to make a mobile: an eye-catcher in the kids’ room and always a hit with little airplane captains!

Even dishwashing supplies can be something special!
This dish sponge, which is very easy to crochet, is a lucky charm for the kitchen. If a dish sponge is too ordinary for you, you can also use the ladybug as an exfoliating sponge.  The sponge yarn (Creative Bubble by Rico) is very easy to work with. It dries quickly and can be washed at 60°C, so it always stays hygienically clean.
