I have seen some really cute hair accessories everywhere I turn. A lot of my favorite department stores’ accessories sections have a large area devoted to hair barrettes, bows, bobby pins and headbands. While I must admit I’ve added several new hair doodads to my collection I have taken to making my own as well. I embellished this child’s headband in a matter of ten minutes for my daughter (that includes hunting down the headband itself). I love yarn that graduates in color and texture. This project is a perfect one for using up your treasured yarn scraps.

Crochet Pattern: Popcorn Ombre Child’s Headband

Row 1: For a child’s headband sc approximately 60 times over the headband or until covered. I do recommend leaving about 1 1/2″ of each end of the headband uncovered so it’s more comfortable to wear. Weave in loose ends.

Finishing
Add a drop or two of super glue to the last 3 sc sts on each side of the headband so the yarn will stay in place. Allow to dry completely before wearing.
