Crochet Bonnet Headband Pattern
Materials
- Fluffy Day yarn from Hobby or any preferred yarn
- 5 mm crochet hook
Pattern
Make a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook. Start by chaining 44 stitches (or the number that measures from the bottom of one ear, over the top of your head, to the bottom of the other ear).
Start your first row with double crochet stitches:
- Yarn over the hook.
- Insert the hook under the two loops of the next chain.
- Yarn over and pull through, having three loops on the hook.
- Yarn over again and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the last two loops on the hook.
Continue with double crochet stitches all along the chain for the first row.
- At the end of the row, turn your work around without chaining one (or chain one if it's your preference).
- Start the second row by skipping the first stitch and doing a double crochet in the next stitch to create a decrease.
- Continue with double crochet stitches for the rest of the row.
- At the end of the row, skip the last stitch and turn your work around. This will create a decrease at the end of the row.
- Repeat steps 5-7 for a total of 8 rows, or until your piece is about 4 inches tall.
- Prepare to make a second identical panel since you need two for the bonnet headband.
Joining the Panels
- Lay the panels together with the wrong sides facing out.
- Use slip stitches to join the panels along the sides, being sure to insert the crochet hook through both panels to bind them together.
Adding the Strings
- Choose one end of the headband to add a string.
- Weave your crochet hook in the middle of the end stitches, attach the yarn, and chain one.
- Place one double crochet stitch in the same space for reinforcement.
- Continue to place double crochet stitches along the edge of the headband as a border and to create one tie string.
- Once reaching the other side, chain 40 (or your preferred length for the tie).
- Create a smaller stitch that leaves two loops on the crochet hook, which is not identified in the scraped text (possibly a half-double crochet or a large single crochet).
- Connect the chain to the headband by inserting the hook under the stitches on the opposite side, yarn over, and pull through all loops.
- Snip off the yarn and secure the end. Repeat for the second string on the other side.
- Weave in all loose ends.
Finishing
- Try on your bonnet headband and adjust the strings as needed.
