The pattern:
Row 1:
We will make chainless half double crochets. We will make them in the following way – first we chain 3. Yarn over and insert the hook in the third chain from the hook, yarn over and pull back so you have 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through the first loop, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook. Repeat this until the desired length of the row.
Depending on the size of the headband you will make, make the first row by cca 4 cm (1.5″) longer than the length of the headband you are making.
At the end of the row chain 2 and turn your work.
Row 2:
Work the first and the last double crochet normally. Work the ones in-between in the back loop (see the video).
At the end of the row chain 2 and turn your work.
Row 3:
Work the first and the last double crochet normally. Work the ones in-between in the third loop.
The third loop is the horizontal part of the stitch underneath the front loop (front and back loop of the stitch make a small V. When you look at the stitch, you will see the horizontal part underneath the front loop.). Yarn over, insert the hook from the bottom side through the third loop, yarn over and pull the hook through all three loops on the hook.
At the end of the row chain 2 and turn your work.
Following rows:
4, 6, 8, or even rows are worked as Row 2.
5, 7, 9, or odd rows are worked as Row 3.
When you get to the desired width of the headband, finish off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sewing:
Turn your work so you look at the front of the headband (the side with small braids). Then fold the ends and sew them as shown in the video. This way the ends will be nicely crossed.
And that’s it! The classic spring headband is done! 🙂
