After crocheting baby booties for Haile (my yet-to-be-born daughter), I felt bad not crocheting anything for Hofri in a while. So I thought of making her a cute headband to go with her beautiful long hair.

Because I want to popularize the use of the pineapple stitch, I used it in this pattern as well.

The headband is crocheted row by row, where the yarn is cut off at the end of each row and new yarn is attached at the beginning of the row the way pineapple stitches are normally worked.

Crocheting pineapple stitches in rows results in having lots of loose ends. I used these loose ends as a lock for the headband.

I don’t normally work with acrylic yarn but I gave it a try with this project. I love that it works up quickly than mercerized cotton (my crochet staple). Crocheting this headband only took less than 30 minutes.

This headband is so cute my niece Bella asked if she can have one too because blue and white are her school colors. This pattern is based on the one I made for her since I forgot to take notes while crocheting the first one.

This headband pattern can also be modified to become a cozy head wrap.
