Crochet a Quick and Easy Headband
Headbands are such great crochet projects, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. They’re quick to make, don’t require much yarn, and are perfect for practicing new stitches or techniques. Plus, they’re super functional—keeping your ears warm and your hair out of the way without the bulk of a full hat. It’s a fun, easy project you can whip up in no time!
I designed this headband when I signed up for a 10K race a few years ago. While I consider myself to be in decent physical condition, I have noticed that the older I get, the less I can get away with eating and drinking like I do! And since I love to run, this seems like the best way to begin my healthier lifestyle.
Since I was training in the winter, I was in desperate need of a cozy headband to keep my ears warm, while keeping the hair out of my face. I designed this headband to be snug and lightweight but warm. The yarn that I chose is Knit Picks Shine Worsted Weight Yarn because its made with high quality Pima cotton. Cotton is perfect for being absorbent and machine washable – which is ideal for anyone planning to work up a sweat! If you’re not into running, you will still love this headband. Its stylish and cozy – and great for early spring as well as winter.
