Materials Needed
- Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm.
- Yarn: Two contrasting colors (e.g., white and red for a traditional Valentine's Day look or pink shades as shown in the tutorial).
- Scissors.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Part 1: Preparing the Base of the Headband
Step 1: Start the Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 78 stitches to form the base of the headband.
2: First Row (Single Crochets)
- Skip the first stitch and make 77 single crochets (one single crochet in each stitch).
- After completing the row, turn your work.
3: Second Row (Double Crochets)
- Chain two stitches and work 77 double crochets, placing one double crochet into each stitch from the first row.
Part 2: Shaping the Heart Decorations
1: Begin the Third Row
- Turn your work and chain two.
- Make nine double crochets (one in each stitch).
2: Switch Yarn Color
- After the ninth double crochet, switch to the second yarn color (e.g., darker pink or red).
- Chain two with the new yarn and cut the previous yarn.
3: Begin Heart Formation
- Skip four stitches and make three double crochets in the fifth stitch.
- Convert the three double crochets into a popcorn stitch:
- Pull up the active loop on your hook.
- Insert the hook into the first double crochet.
- Pull the active loop through the first double crochet, closing it into a popcorn shape.
4: Continue Heart Formation
- Chain two, then make another set of three double crochets in the same stitch (next to the popcorn stitch).
- Convert these double crochets into another popcorn stitch using the same technique.
5: Space the Hearts
- Chain three, skip six stitches, and repeat the heart pattern to create another heart.
- Between each heart, there are three chain stitches except for the last one, which has two chain stitches.
6: Finish the Heart Row
- Continue the pattern until you have eight hearts on the row.
Part 3: Transition Row to Reinforce
1: Switch Back to First Yarn
- After completing the last heart, switch back to the first yarn color.
- Skip four stitches and make ten double crochets (one in each stitch) to finish the row.
2: Start the Fourth Row
- Turn your work and chain two.
- Work nine double crochets, followed by working into the stitches between the hearts:
- Make two double crochets in the first two stitches of the second row.
- Chain two, make one single crochet between the popcorn stitches, chain two again, and work two double crochets in the stitches between the hearts.
- Repeat this pattern until the row is complete.
Part 4: Final Rows
1: Creating the Top Row
- Turn your work and chain two.
- Work one double crochet on top of each double crochet in the previous row. For chain stitches, make two double crochets. For single stitches, make one double crochet.
2: Finish the Base
- Work consistently across the row until the headband is complete. Cut the yarn and ensure the project doesn’t stretch before securing the ends and tying the yarn fully.
Part 5: Adding Ties to the Headband
Step 1: Creating the First Tie
- Insert your hook into the end of the last row and pull through yarn with a slip stitch.
- Chain two.
- Make unfinished double crochets at the ends of the rows:
- Yarn over, insert the hook at the row's edge, and pull through only once.
- Repeat for each row’s edge, pulling through all loops at the end.
2: Complete the Tie
- Chain 30 stitches (or as many as necessary for your desired length).
- Secure the yarn ends by tying them together and weaving them into the back side of the headband with a hook.
3: Make the Second Tie
- Repeat the same process for the other side of the headband.
- Hide any remaining loose yarn ends to ensure a neat finish.
Special Features
- Heart Decoration: The popcorn stitches create 3D heart shapes that stand out beautifully.
- Adjustable Ties: The ties make the headband versatile for different head sizes.
- Customizable Colors: Pick colors that match your aesthetic or stick to traditional Valentine's Day shades for a festive look.

Tutor's Suggestions
- Choose Contrasting Colors: For maximum visual appeal, select two contrasting yarn colors. White and red work particularly well for Valentine's Day headbands.
