CROCHET EASY CABLE HEADBAND
The crochet easy cable headband is a perfect choice for cold weather; you can wear it with your hair up or down, inside or outdoors. You need to know only the double crochet & single crochet stitches to make this beautiful headband.
π Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn (like the green yarn in your image)
- 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Hair elastic band (medium size)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle

β¨ Stitches Used (US Terms):
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
- fpdc = front post double crochet
- puff st = puff stitch (yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through β repeat 3 more times β 9 loops on hook, yarn over and pull through all loops, ch 1 to close puff)
π Step-by-Step Instructions:
πΈ Foundation Chain
- Ch 56 (or adjust to desired length to fit around your head β number of chains should be a multiple of 2)
πΈ Row 1 (Puff Stitch Border)
- Ch 1 (turning chain).
- In the 2nd chain from hook, work puff st (as described above), ch 1, skip 1 chain.
- Repeat puff st, ch 1, skip 1 chain across the row.
- You should end with a puff stitch in the last chain.
- Ch 2, turn.

πΈ Row 2 (Textured Middle Rows)
- Work 1 dc in first stitch.
- Fpdc around next dc (from previous rowβs dc if applicable β or work in puff if adjusting for alignment).
- Repeat fpdc in each stitch across the row until 1 stitch remains.
- Work 1 dc in the last stitch.
- Ch 2, turn.
πΈ Row 3
- Repeat Row 2.

π Tip: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 6 rows (or more if you want a wider band).
πΈ Final Row (Puff Stitch Border Again)
- Ch 1.
- Work puff stitches as in Row 1 across.
- End with a puff in the last stitch.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
πΈ Assembling the Center Cinch
- Fold your band so both ends meet.
- Insert your hair elastic band in the middle area.
- Stitch the two short ends of the band together with the yarn needle using the long tail you left.
- Secure and tighten the stitches so it holds well.
- The hair elastic will gather the middle section β creating that cute cinched bow effect like in your photo.
πΈ Finishing
- Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
- Trim excess yarn.
π Done!
You now have a beautifully textured, puff-stitched, front-post detailed crochet hairband just like in your image!
