Inspired by Knitty.com’s Calorimetry Headband, this simple tapered headband is perfect for folks new to crochet.

Crocheted with two worsted strands at the same time, it works up quickly. The increases/decreases are made in the middle of the pattern instead of the ends, which makes for a more elegant taper overall.

Be sure to use your loveliest button to secure the ends in the back -- it shows off so well when hair is in an updo!
