My hair almost never feels tamed without a headband. It’s almost like my keys as far as being a necessity for leaving the house. A lot of crochet headbands are really wide–at least for my taste– and I wanted one that was less obtrusive with skinny ties to keep it on. And of course, I had to put a cable on it.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: 16″ (40.5 cm) long (not including ties), 1 1/4″ (3 cm) wide

Materials: Light Weight Yarn (approximately 15 yards) Crochet Hook K (6.50 mm)

Gauge:
4 dc = 1 1/4″
3 rows = 2″
Gauge Swatch: 1 1/4″w x 2″h (3 cm x 5 cm) ch 7.
Row 1: dc in fourth ch from hook and in each ch across: 4 dc
Row 2 – 8: ch 3, turn, dc in each dc across: 4 dc
Finish off.
