Materials Needed

Yarn:

• Type of Yarn:
  • Recommendation: Use string number 6 or equivalent medium-weight yarn for adult and teen sizes. Alternatively:
    • Capio Yarn (slightly thicker for a richer texture).
    • Charm Yarn, Amigurumi Yarn, or Nautical Yarn (excellent for baby and thinner straps).
    • Knitted yarn offers unique finishes as well.
• Yardage: Approximately 25g of yarn needed per headband.

Crochet Hook

• Hook size: 4.0 mm (Use a smaller or larger hook depending on your yarn choice).

Additional Supplies

• Scissors.
• Tapestry Needle (for weaving ends and finishing).
• Craft Glue (optional): Use fabric-safe glue for added finishing stability.
• Optional Embellishments: Pearl beads or small charms to decorate the ends of the string.

Skill Level

Intermediate.

Key Abbreviations (US Crochet Terminology)

• ch: Chain
• sc: Single Crochet
• dc: Double Crochet
• sl st: Slip Stitch
• yo: Yarn Over
• st(s): Stitch (or stitches)
• (...): Repeat instructions inside parentheses

Special Notes

1. Yarn and Hook Compatibility: Always adjust the hook to the thickness of your yarn. Finer yarns will require smaller hooks for neater results.
2. Size Customization: Simply adjust the number of floral units to fit head sizes (for example, fewer units for babies).
3. Creative Colors: Experiment with multiple colors or gradient/ombre yarn for striking results.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Begin the Base Strip

1. Create a Slip Knot:
   • Attach your yarn to the hook by making a slip knot.
     Save
2. Foundation Chain (Base):
   • Ch 3. Do not count the slip knot as part of the chain.
3. Row 1: Begin with 1 dc in the first ch.
   • This creates a base of 1 chain and 2 stitches.
4. Row 2:
   • Ch 3, then begin 2 incomplete dc into the same stitch where the chains originated:
     • [yo, insert your hook, pull up a loop, yo, pull through two loops], leaving the top two loops on your hook for each incomplete stitch.
     • After completing two incomplete dc, yo and pull through all loops on the hook for a single finish.
   • This forms a block consisting of an incomplete pair of dc.
     Save
5. Row 3:
   • Ch 3, then work into the next “foot” of the previous block.
   • Create 1 dc, repeating the process of two-row flower formations alternately, such as:
     • Blocks of 2 incomplete dc and 3 combined-chained units.
   • Continue interlocking blocks of 2 and 3 to alternate the flower-style pattern.
6. Repeat Rows – Alternating Blocks:
   • Continue alternating between blocks of 2 and 3 to achieve the desired length:
     • Adult Size: Work 9 blocks of 2.
     • Child Size: Shorten to 6–7 blocks.

Step 2: Create Floral Fans

1. Ch 6: Turn to begin forming floral tips.
2. Skip over the 3-stitch block (previous row), and anchor the floral tips into the next 2-stitch block.
3. Fan Formation:
   • To create the fan/petal effect:
     • Work 3 incomplete dc into the center of the 2-stitch block (yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through two loops) for every edge cluster.
     • Secure all petals by looping through all stitches to close.
       Save
4. Continue Across:
   • Repeat fans across alternating 2-stitch blocks, leaving 3-stitch areas unworked.

Step 3: Work the Bottom Edge

1. After completing the first round of petals, flip the piece and begin working down the bottom:
   • Repeat the same method of petal creation by ch 6 into the edges below.
2. Match Top and Bottom Flowers:
   • Ensure fans are consistent with the ones on top to mirror the look.
     Save

Step 4: Finish and Add Cord

1. Edge Borders:
   • To make rounded borders: ch 6, and fill spaces between flowers with 5 sc evenly distributed, locking petals into desired rounding.
2. Add Cord for Secure Ties:
   • From the last edge/loop, attach yarn and chain to make a 35-chain cord string.
   • Repeat on the other edge.
3. Knot & Finish: Apply finishing knots at the edges. Use fabric glue for subtle reinforcement and trim loose threads.

Pattern Variations

• For Babies and Toddlers: Use lighter yarns such as baby cotton or amigurumi thread and shorten the strip by reducing the number of blocks.
• For Wide Bands: Add extra rows of alternating blocks at the base for a thicker band.
• For Head Wraps: Extend overall length and add a tied closure to wrap it fully around the head.
