Easy Crochet Headband

Leave a comment

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

Mouse Ears Progress

Leave a comment

They’re getting closer! I was able to work a bit more on my Belle Mouse Ears Headband today. I purchased a few more trims as accents. I found gold cording at JoAnn and  perfectly colored flowers at dollar tree. Isn’t it great when that happens!

I also, finished up the ears and wrapped the headband in gold net. Originally, the headband was just covered in Shannon Cuddle 3 Minky in Yellow. The minky works great, but it was a little too fuzzy for my liking next to the cotton fabric ears. The gold net overlay adds a bit more of a princess feel as well.

Next I started the bow using Confetti Dot fabric in Gold & White from JoAnn. I hope it will turn out nice! I am looking forward to finishing these!img_0309

Making a Mouse Ears Headband

You’ve got to be prepared with the proper accessories whenever you have a Disney adventure, so today I started making a mouse ears headband.

My headband is Belle themed as I am hoping to eat at the Be Our Guest restaurant on my next visit to Disney World. I purchase my Beauty and the Beast fabric at JoAnn.

Just saying “Disney” makes a project sound so much more exciting! So far I have gathered most of my supplies.

I also fussy cut the fabric for the ears to showcase Belle.

Finally, I put together the ears. I will make a full tutorial in the intermediate projects section of Learn to Sew once they are finished. The project could probably be classified as easy if you complete most of the steps using hot glue, but if you prefer to sew as I do, it adds a bit of complexity.

I got stuck on the headband! I can’t decide what color fabric to use. Choices, choices. I am horrible about deciding 🙂 I am leaning toward gold! We will see how it works out! I am excited to finish these.
