Lace Headband · Free Crochet Pattern
Hello my fellow crocheters,
I crocheted this super quick and simple headband for my baby girl using one of my favorite stitch patterns...and I just love it! I had to share it with you, because this is seriously such an easy make that will take 10 minutes (or less!) to crochet.
This Headband Design is...
- Quick to work up
- Beginner-friendly
- One piece (no sewing)
- Minimalist
- Vintage
- Versatile and can be made with different types of yarn weights, fibers, colors, and crochet hook sizes
- Oh, and I mustn't forget to mention...it comes with a full video tutorial!
I just love making accessories for my baby girl. I find this minimalistic styled headband to have such a sweet, dainty look.
One of my friends recommended that I crochet one for myself as well, because matching Mommy-and-Me accessories are just too cute!! I think I'll go for it, because as busy as I am with an infant, I can spare 10 minutes to whip up another headband!
I made it a couple of different ways -- with light weight (3) yarn and also with medium weight (4) yarn. Here's the one I crocheted using medium weight yarn that is 100% cotton.

HEADBAND
- Make an even number of chains to match the length that you’d like for your headband. (For reference, I made 64 chains to reach a 12” length for my baby girl’s head size.)
Note: Use the Hat Sizing & Measurements Reference Chart for average head circumferences of different age groups. - Ch 2 more.
- In 3rd ch from hook, insert a hdc. (Sk a st, sc+dc in next st) across. Insert hdc in last st.
- Ch 1, insert a sc in the side of the headband. Then insert sc across each of the chains along the bottom of the headband. Insert a sc in the other side of the headband.
- FO with a long tail to use as a “tying strap.”
- Attach yarn to the other end of the headband, making sure it’s as long as the other side. Tie it securely, then fasten off and weave in the end.
