Last week I was in a mad frenzy making headbands for my only granddaughter Harper for her to wear this cute headband for the upcoming planning party. She looks too cute in them! Being our only Princess, Harper is a bit spoiled by us all. We have 4 grandsons including her twin brother Sadi, none of them want or need crochet headbands. But I have a blast creating cute things for Harper. This Picot Baby Headband looks adorable on her. It was perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any other day for that matter.

Baby Headbands are a great and easy way to use up all those yarn scarps we seem to accumulate. I have a whole basket of them. Plus headbands are quick and easy to make, and a Princess can never have too many of them!

I used scarps of #4 worsted yarn to make this Picot Baby Headband, but you can use whatever yarn scraps you have. I attached a big flower on my headband but you can attach anything you want, or even leave unadorned, it’s pretty either way.

The headbands I made measure 16? when finished and will fit up to an 18? head circumference. You can make it smaller or larger by making more or less chains in the beginning. You can make it smaller or larger by making more or less chains in the beginning. just be sure your number of chains is a multiple of 5 + 1 chain stitch to account for starting your pattern in the 2nd. chain from the hook.

Best way to measure for size is to measure the head circumference then make your foundation chain 2? less than the measurement to allow for the stretching. If you make your foundation chain equal to the head measurement it will be too big and will not stay in place.

To make this headband you will be working on both sides of the foundation chain. It uses Picot Clusters that are worked on both sides of the foundation chain, in the same stitch as the one above it.

Gauge: 7 SC = 2?

4 rows of SC = 2?
