This is a pattern I created while trying to 

make headbands for my granddaughters. 

I had tried previously, and I think I made 

it too hard. This one is simple single crochet, 

and it works wonderfully. The picture shows 

one made with 2 strands of chenille and an 

H hook.

Simply crochet single stitches around the

 purchased stretch cloth covered headband

(round or flat) then join with a slip stitch, 

chain 1 or 2 (depending on the width of 

your purchased headband) and go to 

the opposite side of the headband and 

single stitch around the headband 

again, between your previous stitches. 

Don't make the first half too tight or you 

won't get the 2nd round on. But join the 

second round and finish off. It's that 

simple. And with this method of covering 

the purchased headband, I have yet to 

find a case where the headband shows 

between the stitches, even when I try them 

on myself, and I have a large-size head. 

You can use whatever yarn you wish, and 

could probably add beads or such if you'd 

like too. It's that simple! ENJOY!
