Crochet Headband Patterns Frequently Asked Questions

How wide should a crochet headband be?

If you’re making your crochet headband as a gift, keep the size in mind. The width of a headband should be determined by the pattern and your personal preference, but 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) is a good starting point.

How do I measure my head for a headband?

Using a fabric tape measure, wrap it around your head in the same position you would like to wear the headband — from the top of the head around to the nape of the neck and back up again.

Take note of this measurement and use it as a guideline when crocheting your headband, planning to crochet the headband about one inch smaller than the measurement allows for enough negative ease to keep the headband in place.

What is ‘negative ease’ in a crochet headband?

Stretchy ear warmers, in general, require about 2′′ (5 cm) negative ease, depending on the stitch pattern and stretchiness. (Beginner’s Note: “ease” in crochet patterns refers to the size difference between what you’re making and your body; “negative ease” means that your project will be smaller than your body, but don’t worry, it will stretch!)

What yarn is best for crochet headbands?

Crocheted headbands can be made with yarn weights ranging from fingering weight to super bulky. However, the majority of the headband patterns in this list require worsted-weight yarn.

Can’t find the yarn specified in the pattern? In most cases, a different yarn in the same weight category can be easily substituted. Check your gauge and try on your headband before sewing or binding it off.

How much yarn is needed for a headband?

You really don’t need much yarn to make a headband, thus making it a great project idea for cleaning up your yarn stash. One skein or less is usually all you need, depending on the size of the skein.

What are the best stitches for crochet headbands?

You can use a single, double, or other crochet stitch depending on your intentions for the headband. If you want the headband to be something you can wear in the winter to keep your ears warm, then a tight stitch like single crochet might be best.

However, if you want the headband to have some gaps and look a little fancier, then you could use the shell stitch or box stitch.
