Crochet Rose Headband

Tweet

I love headbands! It's easy to crochet and I love all the flowers you can add for embellishments.

This time I made a crochet rose flower and attached it to a crochet band. I found an easy pattern here. I just make some adjustments like putting adjustable buttons.

Crochet Rose Headband

You will need:

Acrylic yarn (2 colors for the flower and band)

Small buttons

Hook (6/10)

Here's how to do it:

For the Headband

CH50 or the until you reach the desired size. Make sure to add a little adjustment about 0.5-1.0 inch. This is the original size may decrease as we do HDC back.

HDC in the 3rd CH from hook until the last CH. CH4. Working in the opposite side, HDC until the the last st. Sl st to the first HDC.

Rose Flower

CH 52. SC in the 2nd CH from the hook. SC acrosse. CH1, turn. [SC in next st, 4DC in next st, SC in next st] repeat this 17 times to make 17 petals. Fasten off and leave about 18" tail for sewing to headband.

Roll your scallop into a flower of your desired look. Once okay, attach a needle to the tail and sew all the petals all together in place.

Sew the rose onto the headband. Measure out where you want to put the button, and sew them using the yarn you used for the headband.

That easy =)

Tips: For babies, measure their head circumference and add 1-2 inches to the headband size. You may look at the head measurement below so your baby can use their headbands from 0-12 months or up.

3-6 months 14"
6-12 months 16"

Crochet Converse Booties

Tweet

Crochet Converse Booties is one of our best sellers. I already made 8 pairs of converse booties.

This is the very first converse booties I made. And since it was the first, it is not that perfect (for me).

Next is the moss green booties. I already made 3 pairs of it. Much better than the black above :)

Then the blue and red converse booties. I made 2 pairs of each color already.  This looks almost perfect, that's why practice makes perfect really makes sense. Haha.

And, oh I will make blue and red booties for my Kumare. So many deadlines to beat!

Anyway, if you want to make your own crochet converse booties get the pattern here. But if you want to just order, go here.

Happy Crocheting!
