Crochet Seed Stitch Headband
by Sara McFall of mymerrymessylife.com
This particular headband is long enough to fit a 9 months to 2 years (17 inches long), but I sewed
buttons onto it so it can also fit a newborn, and 3-6 month old baby, so it's quite functional.
Headband Measurements
Newborn 13"
3-6 months 14"
6-12 months 16"
12 months-tween 17.5"
Adult 18"
Materials used:
Yarn: Worsted Weight, I used Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn
Hook: I, 5.5 mm
Tapestry needle to sew in tails
3 buttons
Abbreviations
SL ST = slip stitch
DC = double crochet
SC = single crochet
CH = chain
ST = stitch
SP = space
(starting with white yarn)
CH 46 (or make it longer or shorter, as long as the number of chains is divisible by two)
In the 2nd CH from hook, work 1 SC and 1 DC in the same ST
Skip 1 CH
*Work 1 SC and 1 DC in the next CH
Skip 1 CH*
Repeat from * until you reach the end.
Fasten off.
(using another color)
Attach new color to the opposite end from the SL ST (where you started) and on the back side.
The front side puckers out a bit, so we want to work on the back side so the new color will pucker
on the same side as the white.
CH 2
*Skip the next sp
SC, DC in next space*
Repeat all the way down
Work 3 sc on the end
Turn work and repeat * above all the way down, working 3 sc on that end . Join with a SL ST to the
beginning CH 1 and fasten off.
. It's an Irish Rose, however, I did not do the third layer
because it makes the flower huge and I thought would be too big for a baby's head.
Sew the rose onto your headband, using the same color as the middle color (white in this case),
and then it will be an invisible join!
Measure out where you want your buttons, and sew them on using the same color thread as the
middle color (white).
Ta-da! Et voila! C'est fini!
