nice tutorial! so cute. wish I had the patience to work with yarn….someday 🙂
You know, this made me think. You can probably wrap the yarn, glueing as you go, then attach a different embellishment (buttons, ribbon, fabric flowers, etc.).
That is simple and yet amazing! I love things that are simple but look they are complicated. Thank you for sharing! I wish I knew some little girls that would wear this type of headband.

Hello!
I saw you on Craft Gossip. I agree with Diane! It’s so simple and yet the final looks is just perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE this! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
So cute! I’m always looking for quick crochet projects that aren’t just scarves and beenies. I think I’ll try gluing a small piece of ribbon over the ends of the hairband then crocheting over those to hide the edges. Thanks so much for the tute.
wow! Thanks for this tutorial, it`s so cute 🙂
This is so adorable, I am going to make some for Christmas presents, thank you so much.
I can’t get it! I have been trying but I am missing something.
Oh no! What are you having problems with? Let me know, and I’ll try to talk you through it.
I can’t get started. I have only crocheted starting with a chain. So I am not sure how to start. Thanks
Vicky,
Here’s a link showing you how to do single crochet into a chain:
Now, rather than crocheting into a chain, you will be single crocheting around the headband (maybe think of your headband as a chain of stitches). First, cast on one loop onto your hook, as you would to start any crochet project. Then, put your working end of yarn (the one attached to the skein) under the headband.
At this point, you will be holding the headband and the working end of your yarn in your left hand, and your hook with the one cast-on loop in your right. Now, wrap your yarn (yarn over) your hook, and pull that yarn through your first loop. Now, your first single crochet is made!
To keep going, slide your hook under your headband, yarn over, pull the new yarn up even with your first single crochet, yarn over, and pull through the two loops that are on your hook. This is best illustrated in picture #4 and #5.
Please let me know if this helps, otherwise, I can send you my e-mail and I’ll try to send you some photos or something!
Ok thanks I will try I again tomorrow. I want to do this in black for my daughter winter concert outfit. I’ll let you know how far I get.
If you keep having problems, you could just wrap yarn around and glue in a few spots, then crochet the bow and continue as instructed. I really hope you can get it! Again, let me know if you need better explanation/pictures/etc. Good luck!
adorei o pap ,ja fiz um para minha sobrinha !
vou postar no meu blog

Thank you! Obrigado (?)!
thanks for sharing this is cool! 🙂
I, too, am lost on how to crochet around the headband. Without the loops from a pre-existing chain (or previous stitches) to go into, I just can’t seem to “get it.” I’d love to figure it out, though, as this looks like a perfect project for my daughter and her friends who are just learning to crochet – it’s basic stitches, it’s a fairly small project, and it’s something they will use when they’re done.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi everyone! I found a few more links that might explain the technique better:

Hope these are helpful!
Very nice tutorial, I’ve featured your site on this page
http://www.thepatterndepot.com/crochetprojects.htm
I did it! I finally did it! I can’t figure out how to send I photo but I will. I am going to attach a crocheted shamrock to it for St. Patricks day. Thank you so much for all of the extra help and patience!
YEEEEEE! I’m so happy! Thanks for sticking in there, Vicky!
Thank you for this great tutorial, a small thread to you on my blog.
Hello from France, Miette
Merci beaucoup! Thanks so much! I truly appreciate it!
Amei … gosto muito de trico e croche e achei simples e lindo … as garotas vão adorar este adereço para cabelo. Bjks
Thank you!
This is darling! I was thinking, couldn’t you put the beads on yarn first and place them as you go? If I get a chance, I think I might try it that way. If it doesn’t work, I won’t have lost anything, I’ll save the beads on the yarn to do it your way.
I have a 3 year old grandaughter that will love this! I think I’ll try the purse too. I’ll let you know.
Thanks! I think the reason I didn’t pre-string beads was because there was already a lot going on with crocheting around the headband and keeping all the stitches nice and neat (?). For sure let me know how yours turns out (and add it to the flickr group when you’re done–you can find the link under the Patterns & Tutorials page ; ] )!
Thanks, I’ll let you know. 🙂
That’s such a cute idea. now i know what to make for my 3 yr old
Awww. I’d love to see it if you make it!
It took me a while to figure out how to crochet around the headband, but I eventually got it! Now, the one other thing I’m unclear on is how to hide the final little tail of yarn. You said, “Thread your yarn end back up through the tube of stitches, pull it tight, and cut off the excess.” I don’t thoroughly understand that, so if you could elaborate on that, t’would be lovely. Thanks so much for a cute pattern, and for helping me, should you respond. ^.^ xx
No problem! Thread the yarn tail through a large, blunt needle. Carefully stick the needle up through several of the stitches you made around the headband (the “tube”). I pulled my yarn through the inside of the stitches, on the underside of the headband (where it will rest on your head). Pull the needle through the stitches and cut the yarn close to where it exited. I hope that makes sense — if not, hit me up!
Thanks! Now I just need to go buy needles… >.> Other than that though, I finished the headband. I made it green with a black bow, but made the bow’s “knot” green as well. It turned out pretty cute!
Awesome! I’d love to see it, and you should show it off on the Speckless Flickr page!
Love this idea cant wait too try it!
unbelievably cute and easy!
This is such a fun project…I’ve made 4 already…my grand-daughters will love these. I’ve been adding little crochet flowers or butterflies….so cute! I love all your ideas….I’m new to crochet and I can follow them easily…thanks for keeping us beginners in mind! Happy New Year.
I’m sooo happy to hear that! Happy, happy New Year to you!
Love this! I used the bow for a teddy bear I made.
Very cute!!! Do you a video to follow on how to do the headband . Thank you
Sorry — I don’t have any way to do video — just the pics!
I’m in the process of teaching myself to crochet and knit, through the use of books and videos. I have a 10 year-old grand-daughter who likes putting her hair up. This looks easy enough that I think I can make her a headband from her grandma! (I’m certainly going to try!) Thank you for this video 🙂
my girls are going to love this!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. My daughter has been asking me for one. Can’t wait to try this.
Hi i had made this cute headbands for my friend’s daughter birthday …… it came out very nice and all like it .Msny in the party was asking me to make for them and sell them is it ok if i do that …..Wanted to ask u before i go for it
Thank you!!!
Yes — no problem! I just ask that you don’t sell the pattern itself or pass off the pattern as your own. Make and sell to your heart’s content!
I had made this for friends birthday all loved it . some people are asking me can u make for us and we will pay . wanted to ask u before …. Can I make it?
Hi Speckless
I loved ur pattern and made for my friend daughter bday .Thank you For sharing the pattern.
People here r asking me to make and they r ready to pay …..Wanted to confirm it with you before i start it.
Thank you
net
this is fantastic!!! Just found you, love your creativity and your awesome projects, different.
Instead of clue at the ends of the headband what I did was when I weaved in the first and
last stragglers I had both ends meet where I was going to attach the bow and tied them
together so now the single crochet are not going anywhere and if you can’t totally hide the knot you made into the sc don’t worry the bow will hide it.
Thanks!
I just left a comment and didn’t fill in my e-mail, oops. this goes with the comment on how i joined the two stragglers together
I love love love this idea. I am still kind of a crochet novice so not for lack of trying I am having trouble getting stated. Do you have a YouTube video on this I could see??
No, I don’t. Sorry!
What a cute headband! Thank you! 🙂
