This quick and beginner-friendly crochet headband works up in about 30 minutes and uses very little yarn - perfect for stash busting!

The pattern includes instructions for two width options: a 2” version (approx. 26 yards) and a 3” version (approx. 35 yards). Both versions are written for a standard adult head size.

The mesh design is created with basic double crochets and chain spaces, with a stacked single crochet edge for clean, straight sides.

Photo and written tutorials are included in the PDF for all special stitches.

Size adjustments: The headband width is fixed, but the length can be customized easily.

To adjust the headband width, work fewer or more repeats of the mesh row (Row 3 in the 2” version, Row 4 in the 3” version).

To adjust the strap length, simply add or reduce the number of foundation chains at the beginning and end of the pattern.

Materials: Worsted weight cotton yarn, 5 mm hook, yarn needle, scissors.

Sample shown uses I Love This Cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby.
