Best Yarn for a Crochet Headband

The best yarn I recommend for a crochet headband is acrylic. For my headband, I used Brava Tweed from WeCrochet. It’s washable, durable, and has plenty of stretch, making it ideal for regular wear. I would avoid using cotton yarns, as they lack elasticity and tend to stretch out significantly over time.

Construction

To construct the headband, start by creating a foundation chain that determines the desired width. Next, work the pattern rows until you reach the necessary length for the specified size. Once you’ve achieved the appropriate length, seam the ends together to form the twisted front of the headband.

Last row fasten off with a tail for seaming.

For the best fit, it’s important to refer to the finished measurements, as slight variations in yarn thickness and gauge can affect the length of the headband. You may need to add or reduce rows to achieve the correct measurement.

Seaming

With the right side facing, hold each end of the headband and fold the ends in half. Position the folded ends together, making sure the starting tail is to the inside of the layers (leaving it exposed for knotting) and the ending tail is on the outside edge for seaming. Using a yarn needle, seam all four layers of the folded ends together. Afterward, knot the tails, weave in the ends, and trim any excess. For a visual demonstration, please refer to the accompanying video.
