Karen’s Winter Headband Crochet Pattern

When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.

Karen’s Winter Headband Crochet Pattern is made with medium weight yarn [4] and a 5.5 mm (I) hook. This free pattern was designed to match Karen’s Winter Scarf and to be worn as a crocheted set. The pretty textured stitches are easy to crochet and only take single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches.

The headband is seamed with a twist (watch the video tutorial to learn how to do this) so it is tapered at the front but still covers the ears nicely on the sides.

This project works up very quickly, is a great way to use up some of stashed yarn and will make a lovely gift.

I have provided additional sizes in the Finished Size section of the pattern. The pattern as written is for adult medium. The headband stretches approximately 2-3 inches.
