I made this project for my students and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would share. I can make three headbands with one skein of yarn and I can often make one in one sitting.

It is a great easy project to do when you just want to make something quick.

I use this headband as an ear warmer, so they are great for winter and also great for gifts!

One of the things I love best about crochet is how portable it is. Crochet takes very few tools and supplies. As a result, it is easy to take on the go. You really only need a few things to get started, yarn, scissors, stitch markers (you can also use scraps of yarn in varying colors), and a blunt-tip yarn needle. Since so few tools are needed, it is also very affordable to start the hobby. For $10 or less, you can be ready to crochet!

This project only requires a few stitches, chaining, single crochet, and half double crochet.

Supplies:

• Approximately 1/3 skein (80 yards) of worsted-weight yarn
• 4.5mm crochet hook

Pattern:

• Chain 15
• Row 1: 3sc, 8hdc, 3 sc (14) Starting in the second chain from the hook
• Row 2: Chain 1, turn, BLO 3sc, 8hdc, 3sc (14)
• Repeat row 2 until the desired length. (Around 60 – 70 rows for an adult)
• Whip stitch the two short ends together
