To cro­chet a sim­ple head­band, you’ll need the fol­low­ing mate­ri­als:
- Worsted weight yarn in your pre­ferred col­or (you can also use bulky weight yarn for a warmer head­band)
- A cro­chet hook suit­able for your cho­sen yarn (usu­al­ly a 5 mm hook for worsted weight)
- An elas­tic band (option­al for a snug fit)
- A tapes­try nee­dle for weav­ing in loose ends
- A wood­en but­ton or oth­er embell­ish­ments (if desired)

I made this for an adult; how­ev­er, it can be altered to a small­er size by using few­er rows and chains. Once you have the desired rows for a small­er head, place them around your head to see if they fit. I used a h hook for the cro­chet bear ear warmer and medi­um worsted yarn. This free, easy cro­chet head­band pat­tern turned out so cute!
