Easy crochet pattern for beginners

I posted one more pattern yesterday in my channel, Crochetsmash.

As you expected, it is a headband pattern.  


Interestingly, I used Caron Allday Cotton yarn for that. My usual is acrylic yarn. 

Now I love the feel of this cotton! I bought only 2 colours (from Amazon). It cost me $30. 

The colours really give the dark clouds and the orange rays of the sun. 

The stitches are basic ones. I made it lengthwise. 

When you are making headbands in lengthwise, it is hard to achieve the fit. So I decided to design ties for this one.

Creating a pattern for ties was intimidating. But, i did it. 

Now, here is the YouTube tutorial!


So, go ahead and watch the video to start making!

Front Post double crochet


Double crochet is a basic crochet stitch. It can be used to make a scarf, a placemat, a blanket, and even a beanie. 

A double crochet can be used to create raised textures. 

Just make the placement a bit different.  

Look at this headband video! 


It shows how to make front post double crochet stitches. It creates that raised texture on one side.

A Quick And Easy Textured Headband





If you are looking for the perfect weekend crochet project, you’ve just found it. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a confident beginner looking to master your stitch placement, this quick and cozy ribbed headband is a must-make. It is stylish, incredibly warm, and works up so fast you can easily finish one in a single sitting while watching your favorite show.

The secret to this gorgeous, chunky texture is the use of Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC). By working around the stems of the stitches rather than into the top loops, you create a beautiful, stretchy ribbed fabric that mimics the look of a knit cardigan.
