Diamonds Headband

Today, you will see the first headband pattern on the blog. It is super windy over here, and so we needed some headbands to keep the kid’s ears covered (the German in me needs to protect their ears ALWAYS, LOL)

The Diamond Headband is the perfect “one hour project” for yourself, a quick gift, or even craft fairs if you sell your finished makes! It really does work up in about an hour! 

So go and make many many for every girl (or boy) in your life, or to sell at craft fairs 🙂

Enjoy!

Abbreviations:

Ch – Chain(s)

Yo –Yarn Over

St(s) – Stitch(es)

Slst – Slip Stitch

Sc – Single Crochet

Dc – Double Crochet

Fptr – Front Post Treble Crochet

Fptr2tog – Front Post Treble Two Together

Notes:

• Ch3 in the beginning of dc rows count as a stitch. Sk first st when working dc rows and put the last st of sc rows into that ch.
• Ch1 in sc rows do NOT count as a stitch.
• When working Fptr2tog, this counts as the next st. You will NOT be working into the sc that lies behind it.

Special Stitches:

Fptr:           Yo twice, insert hook from right to left around post indicated, pull up a loop, (yo, pull                        through two loops) three times.

Fptr2tog:   Yo twice, insert hook from right to left around post/stitch indicated, pull up a loop, (yo,                    pull through two loops) two times (two loops on hook); Yo twice, insert hook from right                    to left around next post/stitch indicated, pull up a loop, (yo, pull through two loops) two                       times (three loops on hook); yo, pull through all three loops.

For toddler size, repeat rows 2-3 one more time.

For child size, repeat rows 2-5 one more time.

For adult size, repeat rows 2-5 once, then 2-3 once.

Fold the band in half so the short ends meet right sides together. Ch1, slst or sew along the short rows.

Turn so the beginning ch is on top. Ch1, sc in each unworked loop from the beginning ch. Join, cut yarn.

Turn around so the last worked row is on top. Join yarn, ch1, sc in each st. Join, cut yarn.

Weave in ends.

You’re done 🙂
