You will need:

1 or 2 balls of yarn in your choice of colour/s and weight
Crochet hook (correct size for the yarn you’re using)
Scissors
Yarn Needle

Child Size:Make a series of chains that will measure about 19.5″/50cm long (from the 1st chain to the last chain). Skip the first 3 chains and work 1 double crochet (US term) in each of the next chain stitches until the end. Chain 3 then slip stitch to the base (foundation chain – refer to below photo to see where you need to make your slip stitch). Fasten off, make a knot and weave in yarn tail.

**Make 3 strips, ensure to leave one strip with a long tail (about 15″/40cm) for sewing.**

Adult size:Same method as above however your chains will need to measure about 23″/59cm long.

**Make 3 strips, ensure to leave one strip with a long tail (about 15″/40cm) for sewing. **

NOTES:

• Use foundation double crochet method if you know how rather than making single chains at the start
• I used 8 ply yarn and 4mm crochet hook for this headband – I ended up with 83 chains to measure 19.5″
• Don’t make the braids too tight or too loose – a nice, relaxed tension will do

Once you’ve made the 3 strips, it’s time to braid the headband.

At the start we skipped the first 3 chains then worked double crochets in each chain stitch along and at the end we chained 3 – we will use the spaces between the chains and stitches to join the ends together.

1. Gather your strips and using the long sewing yarn tail, sew through all 3 strips on one end (sew through between those 3 chains and stitches).
2. Place your strips on a flat surface. Put a little heavy weight on top so the strips don’t move (optional).
3. Braid the strips together all the way to the end.
4. Bring the 2 ends of the headband together.
5. Using the same sewing yarn tail, sew through all 3 strips of the other end (sew through between the 3 chains and stitches).
6. Sew the ends together by weaving the tail in and out through both ends of the strips about 5 times.
7. Wrap the tail tightly in the middle about 6 – 8 times.
8. Sew the yarn tail through the back.
9. Make a tight knot to secure it. Hide yarn tail and snip excess yarn.
