What I'm famous for...

I love headbands! Beanies usually don't fit my small head very well so I began crocheting headbands in an attempt to find something that fit better. This pattern is my version of most common headband patterns. I can't really say I own the real pattern but this is the one I usually use.

Materials Used //

• 1 Skein of yarn of at least 60-70 yds worth of yarn (I prefer super bulky labeled "6") // My favorite yarn for this project is Lion Brand: Hometown USA.
• Size K (10 1/2 or 6.5 mm) OR size N (15 or 10mm) crochet hook.I tend to choose the hook based on the yarn type as well as my stitch size preference. In fact,  I made one the other day with a P sized hook. You decide which is best and let me know how it goes!

PATTERN  //

Base Row //

Chain 50-60 (I usually measure it to my head and make it long enough so a few stitches overlap) The length will vary depending on your head size. This number of stitches is your base row.

Chain 3 more stitches (this is your first "double crochet"). Don't include these three in your base row stitch count.

Row 1 //

DC into 4th stitch from hook.

DC all the way to the end (count as you go to make sure your DCs match your base row number).

Chain 3 and turn.

Row 2 //

DC into 4th stitch and continue to the end. Don't forget to match the number of DCs with your base stitch number again.

Repeat Row 2 until you have the desired width. I usually crochet 4-6 rows total.

Finish //

When you're finished. Weave in the ends and sew on your buttons using matching yarn of your color choice.
