Crochet Flowers For Headbands Free Pattern
Janet Denzel
Once upon a time before there was a Crochet 365 Knit Too, I designed and sold a few patterns under another name. Then life got busy. I was a single mom juggling a full time job, trying to help my son get through school and dipping my toe into the dating pool and something had to give.
The changeable crochet flower headband will need to be a bit smaller than the actual head measurement in order to stretch and fit snugly. To determine the length of the headband, subtract 1 to 1.5 inches from the head measurement. I subtracted 1.5 inches, but you may find that 1 inch is a better fit. Write the numbers below:
R1: Chain # of stitches (D) above. Carefully attach to form a ring, being careful not to twist work. Ch 1, then sc around, joining with a slip stitch to the first Ch 1, again being careful not to twist work. Fasten off.
R2: Turn work so that the row you just worked is on the bottom and the foundation chain is on the top. Join yarn with slip stitch to the first stitch of the foundation chain. Ch 1, then sc. Around, sl st to 1st stitch. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.
Start to sew the button on the headband, placing a yarn needle underneath the holes in the button as you sew the button in place. When you have finished this step, carefully pull out the yarn needle, do NOT break thread. You will now have a button that is very loosely attached to the headband. Maneuver the sewing needle so that it is between the button and the headband. Wrap the thread several times around so that you create a thread shank. To finish off, knot around the button with a slip stitch or two, then pull needle through to the wrong side of the headband and knot off.
With nearly 5 decades of crochet experience, she finds joy in exploring the limitless possibilities, making Crochet 365 Knit Too a haven for fellow crochet lovers seeking inspiration, guidance, and a warm community.
Dear Cheryl: I am a subscriber and am having trouble getting some of the patterns and tutorials to print. Am I missing a link in the pattern that I am supposed to click on? I would really like to work up the headband with the interchangable flowers. Thanks for your help. Lorie Homiak

Treble Crochet 3 Together Instructions: [yarn over 2 times, insert hook (these will all be completed in
the same chain space), pull up a loop, yarn over pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull
through 2 loops], repeat for a total of 3 times, you will have 4 loops on your hook, yarn
over and pull through all 4 loops
Typically you will hear me preach about how important it is to check your gauge. But, for this pattern, there will be no gauge check. Since you can pick any yarn weight each headband you make may be made with a different stitch count to reach the desired size.
Ch 7, dc in 4th ch from hook, [ch 8, dc in 4th ch from hook], repeat [] until you reach the *desired length (desired length can be found under the sizing guide above). Ch 5 more, do not turn, instead you will rotate the chain and work along the opposite side/this is the same as if you were to turn and work along the beginning chain).
For the second round begin with a Ch 1, work 3 sc in 1st ch space, [sc in top of tc3tog, 6 sc in ch space, (in top of the next 2 tc3tog work a sc2tog, 6sc in next ch sp), repeat () to end of the top part of your row. Sc in top of last tc3tog, at end of row work 3 sc in each of the next 2 ch sps, sc in top of next st. Begin row with 6sc in next ch sp, repeat () to the end of the row, sc in next st, 3sc in last ch sp, join with an invisible join (click HERE for tutorial) fasten off, leaving tail to sew ends.
Making sure the headband is not twisted, sew the ends of the row together to complete your headband. Now you know how quick and easy that was. have fun and play with different yarn weights to create the perfect look for you.

I love designing and the art of crochet has allowed me to do just that. I enjoy the many textures that crochet offers. I strive to introduce new stitch combinations and textures in each of my designs. I love designing accessories for Men, Women, Children and Babies along with crochet pieces for the Home and Everyday Life.
Wait, Kelsi. I was thinking of a different pattern. I had it in my head you we were on the dishcloth pattern. I must have made this pattern by going into the 3rd stitch instead of the 4th. If you try it going into the 4th, let me know how it turns out.
After going around your circle with the 4 single crochets, you will slip stitch to complete the circle. Then you *Chain 4, Triple Crochet 2 stitches, Chain 4, Slip Stitch* within the first single crochet stitch around the circle. Then when moving to the next petal you will work those into the next stitch until you have 4 completed petals. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need more help.
For this headband, I added a bit of variation to Bethany's basic chevron stitch by crocheting only the back loops in every fourth row. This created a little extra visual interest and a nice monochromatic repeating pattern.
Using accent color, ch 2 stitches. Cut yarn, leaving a few inch tail. Pull the yarn through the last ch to fasten it off. Fold the very short ch in half and pull both tails through the front of the flower toward the back. Tie the tails into a few knots on the back of the flower.
Finishing
Cut a 2" piece of elastic. Folding the raw edge over on each side of elastic, hand sew it to the headband as pictured. Repeat on the other side. Arrange the flowers in a way that makes you happy and hand sew them to your headband.
This crochet flower was inspired by a pinterest find. I often find myself browsing through pinterest looking at stitches and just looking at pieces in general to find some inspiration. I came across this PIN which had a flower like pattern of stitches. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be really nice to have the flowers on a headband.
I really like the crochet flower stitch idea but there is no pattern listed for it so I spent a few days trying different things. After many failed attempts I finally came up with this beautiful crochet flower bud pattern.
When I worked this up I was working in rounds, but it could be worked in rows, it is worked from bottom upwards. It would make a beautiful edging on an afghan or even a little girls spring-summer dress. The possibilities are endless!
Thanks for replying! I will certainly try it out that way, I am a duffer at any kind of math, it is called dyscalculia, unfortunately. I was intrigued by your mention of the crochet designing software and went to tht site, called and spoke to Brian, I am very into filet crochet and have umpteen ideas in my mind but alas, they do not have a grid up yet in which to design the filet signs unless you import a grid and I confess to being technically challenged too! So perforce I shall have to be patient. I will let you know how my cotton headband works out, and thanks again.
This headband is perfect for our Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. I made your worked-in-the-round pattern but decided I wanted ties at each end so it will easily fit any head. I have made four so far, learning and improving each time. The last one I put an extra chain for each end and then anchored the top rows to the bottom extra chain with a dc into the side leaf and then another into the extra chain. It still looks awkward so I am onto effort number 5. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful pattern. I received the link for downloading the pattern, but the chart is not part of it. I am a visual crocheter and am excited you have a chart, but is there any way I can download it. Right-click is disabled on your web-site (understandably). Could you possibly send me the chart via email? Thanks
Many thanks for this lovely pattern. Maybe you like to have a look on my Facebook profile to see what I made out of your pattern. I would be pleased! Have a nice weekend! Greetings from Bavaria, germany!
Here we have a variety of beautiful crochet flower headband patterns for you to enjoy. They all involve different techniques, stitches and flowers, so you might like to make a few to accessorise with your different outfits!
You may like to use whatever yarn you like, although cotton might be the most durable for wearing in wet weather or for when you need to wash them from time to time. Some of the headbands rely on an elastic band or a loose tension to make them stretchy. Others have ties to keep the headbands secure on your head.
First up we have this beautiful headband available in English and Japanese. The elastic hair tie allows the headband to fit snuggly on your head. You might already have some floating around the house, otherwise they are sold at most stores!
Next we have this easy headband that may be made in four sizes- from baby, toddler, child to adult! The designer wanted the headband to be casual enough for everyday wear, but also be fancy enough to wear for special occasions, and I think they achieved that!
Here we have a simple yet delicate flower headband. The middle of the flower incorporates some beads which you might like to include too, although you do not have to! You likely only need two colors for this project, or you could crochet yours in all one or even multi-colored.
