If you’ve been searching for a quick knitting or crochet project, I’ve got a wonderful collection for you. I found 30 easy headband patterns that you can knit or crochet in just a few hours. If you live where it gets pretty cold during the winter months, you know that a good knit headband can be your best friend.
Not only do they help to keep your hair out of the way – and quite stylishly I might add – they can also be great for keeping your ears warm during those blistery winter days.
Crochet or knit headbands are great for adding just a bit of style. They’re also perfect for giving as gifts to any little girl or grown woman that you know.
These are all so easy, and many of them take very little yarn, so you can make several and give them to your family and friends. You’ll also want to check out these 100 crochet and knitting patterns that are perfect for beginners.
#1 Knit Cable Crown Headband
This bulky cable knit headband is the perfect cold weather accessory. You use a heavyweight yarn and it’s a really easy pattern, and the perfect way to practice your cable knit.
The pattern begins with a provisional cast on and finishes with a three needle bind off. You can also just sew the ending seams together if you prefer. It looks much more complicated than it is to make and is a beautiful piece when finished.
#2 Easy Crochet Bow Headband
This lovely crocheted headband features a huge bow and is a really easy pattern. You work it in three pieces, the headband, the bow, and the middle section, all of which are worked in a single crochet.
You could easily turn this one out in about an hour even if you don’t have much practice with crochet, and it’s really stylish. Do these in different colors for different outfits or make them as gifts.
