Easy to Crochet Flower Headbands

Crochet Flower Headbands are so quick and easy to make.  I’m aways looking for ways to use up my many partial skeins of yarn.  It seems those partially used skeins keep multiplying.  I hate to throw them away and sometimes there isn’t enough yarn to make a big or medium sized project.  I saw these little stretchy headbands at my local Dollar Tree store.  I liked them but they were just too plain.   I decided to add some crochet flowers to the headbands to make them a little fancier.   Here is what I came up with:  Crochet Flower Headbands.  

You can also just make the flowers and add them as embellishments on hats, scarfs, etc.  I have included the link for a free video tutorial on the last page of this post for visual learners.

It’s Hat Monday! Well, it’s a Headband but I think you’ll like it

Ok, so it’s not exactly a hat but I think it qualifies for Hat Monday since it’s worn on your head.  (Did you see how I snuck this in?)

This headband is so fun and easy to make.  You will be using medium weight yarn and a size J/10  6.00 mm crochet hook.  What I love about this headband is that it’s a great way to use up your scraps and it’s a beginner level project.  If you can chain, half double crochet, double crochet and sew a simple seam you can make this.    I think making these in your favorite team colors is a great alternative to a hat.. and no more hat head : )

If you would like to purchase the written pattern (English only)  It is available here at my Ravelry store.

As always the YouTube Video tutorial is free and you can click Here to view it.

I hope you enjoy today’s Hat Monday project.  Happy Crocheting!   Yolanda
