Simple Heart Headband

Runner's Reflective Headband Crochet Pattern

These past few months have been all about branching out and doing new things! I took up running to help on my fitness journey! So I thought that it would be good to branch out and try new things in crochet too! I'd tried Tunisian crochet before and made a washcloth. I didn't enjoy it at all and swore I'd never do it again. 

I've gotten the opportunity to get to know the wonderful Kim Guzman (Queen of Tunisian some would say)! She has an amazing series of free videos on Tunisian Crochet.

 I sat down and watch most of them in one day! 

I decided it would be fun to work up a very simple beginner Tunisian headband. I had some fun reflective yarn left over from another project and it was still chilly in the mornings when I ran so this is were this little gem was inspired from!  I hope you enjoy this freebie and try to branch out and try something new too! 

This was written as if you already understand Tunisian crochet but there are links below so you can learn the same way I did. I made one in a Tunisian Simple Stitch and one in the Tunisian Knit Stitch. The TSS doesn't have a lot of stretch but I like it because it's warm but not super thick. The TKS is thicker and a little stretchier.  I also thought it worked up faster. You can use either stitch in the pattern interchangeably.  

Also note that you do not have to have a Tunisian or Afghan hook to make these. I use a regular boye hook with a little bit of clay on the end of  it but it was enough room to work it. You can also just put a rubber band on the end of the hook or my mom recommends a pencil top eraser.

Please note this is my 1st Tunisian pattern, this has been tested but if you find errors or if there is a more proper way to write a "Tunisian" Pattern don't hesitate to let me know so I can fix it!

Calleigh's Comfy Headwrap Crochet Pattern

I'm excited to let you know that I'm retiring the 1st paid pattern I ever wrote! It will now be a freebie on the blog and I hope you enjoy it! It's been updated and retested. Wow have I learned a lot as a designer over these past 4 years! I hope you will enjoy this simple headwrap pattern. 

I was thinking it was a silly time of year for a head wrap being spring and all but even though it was almost 90 degrees  this weekend in OKC, it's in the 30's this morning with a chance of snow! I wore my head wrap to the bus stop this morning! You can also make it in cotton for a fun spring accessory!

Chain-less Foundation Heart Headband

Need a simple project for Valentines day! This one is perfectly sweet! 

Chain-less Foundation Heart Headband

Materials : Small amounts Thick and Thin Handspun Wool Yarn (wpi 3-4-5) 

I get mine from Ilashdesigns

N/P -15- hook (10.00 MM) 

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Measuring Tape 

You can really make this any size but I'm focusing on NB

(you can find a general sizing chart here for any size) 

For Newborn we want it to measure around 13 inches. This headband will have about a two inch stretch so it can fit 13-15 inches (nb-3month) 

We are going to use a method called a chain-less foundation. If you don't know how to do it. I have a video linked up to help here

Headband

- work a sc chain-less foundation for about 20 chs (measure your headband un-stretched. Should be about 13 inches long. You may need to increase or decrease your stitches based on the type of yarn used)

 Join to 1st ch, (be sure your work is not twisted ) Fasten off and weave in ends. 

*Note if you work your ends to the right side of the headband you can tie it off and the heart will cover it! 

Heart Appliqué

Pattern use with permission by Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs
-This is actually a design by my late Grandmother! 


 (N- Hook) -
Round 1 -Ch 3, work in the first ch from the END, 3 tr, 3 dc, chain 1, 1 tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr, ch 2, sl st, leave a 8 in tail of yarn, and pull to the back.


Closing the Hole in the Center:
Thread the tail of yarn on to the yarn needle, then on the back side of the heart draw the yarn through all the loops in the circle, and secure the yarn. Fasten off but leave about 8-10 inches to attach to headband. 


Attached the heart to the seam where we joined the headband. It will hide it nicely! Try to weave off your ends to the back stitches of the heart. That will keep your work secure and no knots of loose ends in the headband itself. 


*Other yarn options.
 I've seen several stores coming up with a non-wool thick and thin you can try these or you can also use your favorite bulky weight or two strands of worsted Weight for this project. Just be sure to measure your headband so that it is two inches smaller than the size of the head measurement  and it will come out fine!


If you have any questions or see any mistakes (which happen :P) Feel free to contact me using the contact tab and I will try to get back to you within 24 hrs!
