As the weather gets cooler we all need a little something to keep us warmer.
This easy to make crochet headband is perfect for those times! The texture on this headband is so beautiful and is great for those who already know how to make basic crochet stitches.
All you need is some bulky yarn and a 10mm hook to get started. Full written downloadable crochet pattern is available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops.

Row 1: Dc in 4th chain from hook, *ch 1, sk next ch, dc in next ch* rpt from * to * ending with dc in last ch. Ch 2 turn. (9)

Repeat row 3 until you have reached 19″-20″ for adult size. Remember to keep the length at least one inch smaller than head circumference.
Finishing row: Sc in 1st ch space, dc in skipped stitch under ch space, (sc, dc in skipped st under ch space) rpt () in each ch 1 space till end of row. End with hdc in last st.
Fasten off leaving long tail to sew short ends of headband together. You can do this any way you are comfortable. I do not recommend using slip stitches as the front of the headband will be too bulky.
Once ends are sewn together wrap yarn continually around headband seam until the desired look has been achieved.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Hello! I’m struggling with this pattern. It seems that I have 2 layers going on. Not sure what the problem is. I’ve tried 2x and keep getting the same results. Please send help! Haha
Good morning Emily :). This is really common with this stitch. You need to work towards you with the hook then go in front to back through both loops of the stitch below.
Be sure to watch the video on how the stitch is done. If you don’t want to watch the whole video try going about 5-7 minutes in and you will see it.
Let me know who you make out 🙂
Hi Cyprianne, I’m loving this pattern so much. I tried making the Brighton hat using two strands Aran. I made a memory blanket for my daughter after she had to put her beloved cat down. I wanted to use the same yarn to make gifts for her sisters who were morning the loss also. I really struggled with the outcome. So before giving up I decided to use a single strand and go with a smaller hook to try the Brighton headband. OMG, just lovely and works up so quickly. I am so excited that everyone gets something lovey. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I can’t wait to give the hat another go with single strand bulky. Although, now that I know what I’m doing and what I should watch out for I could probably pull off 2 strands. 😂
Happy New Year Christie – umm better late than never?
I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner.
Losing a pet is so hard they really become part of the family and the loss is felt for a while. I hope your daughter and sisters are starting to feel better. It was so kind of you to make them something special to cheer them up.
I am so glad that you finally had success with the pattern – it is one of my favourites for sure!
And yes 2 strands will totally work for this design.
Please reach out again if I can help you with the Brighton hat – I do have a private video link for that one if you need it. Not a full tutorial but will get you through the starting rounds.
