Tie-Front Free Crochet Headband Pattern

This simple free crochet headband pattern is a quick crochet project with chunky style perfect for transitioning into the cooler months.

Well, it’s still over one hundred degrees where I live, but ready or not, I guess it’s time to start thinking about fall! I am ready for cooler temps, so I am going to start stitching up some cozy crocheted items and in hopes that I can will fall to come more quickly. 🙂

Even if you aren’t quite ready to let go of summer, it is time to start thinking about and planning out your handmade holiday gifts, and this free crochet headband pattern might be the perfect project to add to your list.

This free crochet headband pattern creates a wide and thick headband that ties in the front for a cute bandana style.

This pattern uses the moss stitch, which is one of my favorite simple crochet stitch patterns. To create the moss stitch, you alternate chain stitches and single crochet stitches, working your single crochet stitches into the chain stitches of the previous row. It gives the headband a nice texture without adding bulk to the fabric.

Supplies needed to make your own free crochet headband pattern:

• Darice Folklore Yarn (or another bulky yarn – Folklore is on the light end of bulky)
• Size J (6.00 mm) Crochet Hook
• Scissors
• Yarn Needle
