Headband "Hanna"
Crochet a lovely headband in this beautiful herringbone pattern!
The headband can be easily be adjusted in size, this means it is super easy to make this headband into a cowl or scarf. The only thing you need is to add more chain stitches at the beginning. This pattern is a bit more tricky than a beginner pattern but there is short videos guiding you through the technique. You will need MYO Chunky wool and crochet hook 8 mm.
Yarn Consumption: From approx. 75g (75g is a small adult size headband). The yarn consumption depends on what you make and how tight you crochet.
Note that we in this instruction uses videos from out technique library. If you are looking for a full instruction video for a crocheted headband, we suggest the headband Maja.

Here's how to do it
An incredibly beautiful pattern that you can use for so much! Headbands are just one of the examples. I've tried crocheting a cowl but you might as well crochet a scarf in the same pattern. We will crochet the headband back and forth in rows and in the end we will sew the ends together. Hope you like the pattern! /Lizette
If you want to crochet a scarf or a cowl, you can crochet a longer chain. The chain becomes the length of your scarf or the circumference of your headband/cowl. The number of rows is crocheted according to what you want. More rows will be a wider headband, scarf or a cowl.
Row 1. Start by making a slip knot and crochet a chain. Crochet as many chain stitches as you need, in the headband in the picture we used 38 chains. Add loops if you need to. Measure around your head or neck if crocheting a cowl.
From now on, we will alternate row 2 and row 3 as many times as you wish to achieve the width of your headband. Remember not to crochet too tight, but crochet a little loose.
Row 2: Start following the chain back and crochet row 2. Skip the first chain and start in the second chain. Crochet one single crochet.
The following stitches on the row is crochet in the same way.
When you look at the stitch you will see two lines that the stitch has created in the front, you take your crochet hook under that line on the far left and then dive into the next stitch on the chain and crochet a single crochet. Pull a little so you don't crochet too tight.
After you crochet the second stitch, the following stitches will create three lines in the front, but you always go under the one on the left. Crochet in the same way until you are at the end. Chain one and turn.
If you need help with the technique, check out the video below for a guide.
Row 3 is a bit harder to crochet, so have some patience. Rip up and start over, if you need to. It takes time and sometimes you need to start over. Check out the video above if you need help.
Row 3:
We will crochet exactly the same as row 2 but we crochet from the back and not going into the stitches from the front as we did in row 2.
Go down the second stitch, but go down in the stitch with your crochet hook from the back (and not from the front and back as we usually crochet) and make a single crochet. Be sure to keep the yarn so it is in the front. Now, crochet as we did before (from the backside), go under the last line of the single crochet we just made and down into the next stitch and make single crochet until you are at the end. Chain one and turn.
Crochet row 2 and then row 3 again as many times as needed to achieve the width you desire.
Closing
When you are satisfied, cut the yarn but save a longer piece of yarn, about 20-25 cm. Fold the headband and have the inside out (nice side facing each other). Thread the end of the yarn up and down between the two sides to attach the ends with each other. Attach the end of the yarn (see below video if you are not sure how to fasten off the yarn).
