How to Crochet a Knot Headband

The best part is that you can make one for you and for everyone you know, since it comes in seven different headband sizes!

Read on down to find the FREE crochet headband pattern below, learn about the yarn used to make one and more.

Happy Headband Making!

Yarn

To make my knotted headband, I used my favorite yarn, Lion Brand Woolspun, in Honey. It is a bulky lamb wool blend fiber that is exceptionally soft and easy to crochet projects with.

I have also used it to design other crochet projects like my Dreaming Clouds Crochet Ear Warmer, Chained Crochet Headband and many more! It’s pretty wonderful. Promise!

(Update 2021: This yarn is no longer being made. You may still be able to find it on Amazon and in other shops)

Substitutions: If you can’t find this yarn, I’d suggest using Hue + Me from Lion Band as the perfect replacement! It has a similar feel to the Woolspun, but without the wool!

The best thing about this pattern is that you can make TWO headbands with just one skein of yarn. You could even get crazy and make even more in a few different colors, as I did! (see the pictures)

That means you can make one of these headbands for yourself and a friend! I love patterns like this that let you get more, and I hope you do too.

Stitches

This simple to make headband is perfect for beginner crocheters since it uses only one stitch – the half double crochet – throughout almost the entire crochet pattern! Here is a little refresher on this stitch if you are unfamiliar:

Half Double Crochet (hdc):

  1. YO (yarn over) insert hook from front to back of the designated stitch, YO the hook and pick up a loop. 
  2. YO the hook and pull back through all three loops on the hook.

  4. Hi, this is a gorgeous headband however I’ve tried both sides and they will not fit on a 3 – 10 year old or an adult head. I’m using very lose stitches and also the hook is the size you indicated. I’m also using the Wilson yarn! Any thoughts?
    ?

  5. This is gorgeous but I’m having a problem with the start making the circle. Do I slip stitch into the front or back of the first chain?

  6. This is a gorgeous item. Thanks for posting. But I’m having a problem with the start making the actual circle. Do I slip stitch into the front or back?

  7. I don’t understand how a ch 36 can possibly for on a 3 yr or 10yr old head. Even trying to chain loosely rhis is very small.

  8. Am having a problem with the chain not stretching to fit the head. Every thing else stretches but my foundation chain. Help.
