Have a lovely day crocheting,
Thanks so much for the lovely free pattern! I had to start it tonight. Got through row 8 and will finish tomorrow. Found one small typo: Row 6-11 should read Row 6-9 if I'm not mistaken. I'm really enjoying making this. 🙂
Glad you're enjoying it! And thank you so much for letting me know about the typo, I'll fix it immediately 🙂
Describing your style in one word: :"Feminine". Definitely ! 🙂
Haha I completely agree Judy! 🙂
I love this pattern! Two of my daughters want me to make their babies earwarmers, and I've found the pattern to use now! Thank you for sharing this pattern!
This is a gorgeous pattern. I've been looking for a wide headband pattern for sometime now… I do believe I just found it! Thanks bunches…
Hugs,
Beth P
Awww, thanks Beth! 🙂
THANK YOU for an EASY-to-UNDERSTAND pattern! I have crocheted my whole life, but still have a hard time reading patterns, and prefer to just "wing it." I struggle reading all the codes: SC (single crochet or slip stitch?), DC, TLC, ACDC, haha…. after awhile I am totally OC-ADHD!!! What a difference seeing the word: "Single Crochet" made…. who knew. I am starting a purple one for my fashion-forward, yet totally feminine 20-something daughter!
Thank you Olivia, you are truly a HONEY for posting this!
Merry Merry!
Debbie
Aww, I'm so glad you like the pattern and that you find it easy to understand! 😀
I'm sure your daughter will love it!

Hi there, I have definitely been trying to make this pattern but with no avail. I live in Canada so I had to convert the yarn type you were using as we do not sell this brand or type here. I used a #3 weight light yarn by Red Hart Brand, with the 5.00mm hook, but the work still comes out bulky and not delicate looking at all. 🙁 Was my conversion wrong? Should I be using a lighter weight yarn? a #2 or #1 perhaps? Any suggestions would be great as I'd like to make at least 5 of these for Christmas Gifts for friends this year.
Hello Jane,
It should be giving the same result, since you're using the right weight! I'm not sure why it's not looking the same, sorry!
Wish I could have helped more,
Olivia
I'm new to crochet so I'm hopeless when selecting yarn. I found this website to help me with yarn selection. Maybe it will help. http://yarnsub.com/
Hi, I love this look but I'm having a question about the first row. Chain 101, sc in the second chain should give you 100 sts. So should I be chaining 102? Or should I be ending the row with 100 sts?
if I read the pattern correctly, you would chain 101 and then to begin row 1 you would chain one and start your single crochets. Effectively, you will be changing 102 and then begin your single crochets in second chain from the hook.
I featured this in my Daily Dose of EyeLoveKnots Finds for December 8th. Thanks for the opportunity to share!

I can't crochet but I would totally buy this! Do you sell them by any chance?
So sorry, but no, I don't sell any finished items at the moment.

On row four it says to crochet into the space or hole of the previous rows 7 double crochet together. I am so confused, am I suppose to just crochet into the middle of those previous stitches or is there a specific space/
I am confused as well…where exactly am I supposed to place the stitches? I made it past the 4 double crochets in the space/hole in the middle of the 4 double crochets together stitches. I am stuck at the 7 double crochets in the space/hole in the middle of the 7 double crochets together stitches. HELLLP, please!
Did you figure it out or get a response? I'm stuck there also.
So frustrated , not sure what I’m doing wrong. Are the seven doubles supposed to look like popcorn stitches? I would love it more if it layed flat like yours does.
A friend of mine asked for a headband and scarf. I just finished the headband using this pattern and now I'm using it to create a scarf…really excited to see how it comes out! Thanks for sharing. It really is a beautiful pattern.
Just finished the scarf and the set came out great! Will be sharing this link on my blog!
Thanks for this pattern, it's lovely, I'm making it in pastel green. Would you have this pattern as a chart ? I'm not sure about my row 3 ( my 7dctog starts from the top of the 7 dc cluster of previous row ) and I think i might see it more clearly as a chart. I'm also confused by "same stitch", when it's the beginning of a row, do you mean first stitch of the row, bottom of the turning chain ?
Sorry, I hope my questions make sense !!
Elise
I got stuck at the same place! Was not sure if the 7 Double Crochet Together is supposed to start at the first stitch of the 7 Double Crochet cluster? A chart pattern or YouTube tutorial would be really helpful . . . It is such a beautiful pattern. Thank you for sharing it Olivia, I just hope I can get it right 🙂
Hi Olivia. Chained the 101 with worsted weight and a 5 mm hook, and it is huge. About right at 81. My concern is that I'm not a loose crocheter, and I have a pretty big head. Should I continue or go back and use a smaller hook? Thanks Kris
Hello Kris,
If the 81 chains is the right for your head, it will work well! Your crochet tension could be looser than mine, and your yarn might be slightly heavier weight too.
Hope this helps,
Olivia
I've got a tiny head and i tend to crochet pretty tight, i used 81 chains and the wrap fit perfectly on my tiny head.
made this for my myself last night and wore it to school today, everyone absolutely loved it! Do you have a pattern variation to make this into a hat as well!?
Hello Courtney,
So glad you love it!.. Unfortunately I don't have a hat featuring this stitch yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to let you know!
Olivia
It's a very pretty pattern. I am an experienced chrocheter and had difficulty to understand the pattern. You say I must repeat row 2-5 but that is not possible. I repeated row 4-5 until the headband was wide enough. I think there is a mistake in your pattern and it was also difficult to understand what you meant by crocheting 7 dc together. Your video wasn't a great help.
Margaret, the 7dc together is similar to doing a DC decrease however, instead of DC into 2 stitches then joining together, you're doing it through 7 so you will have 8 loops on your hook before you yarn over and draw through all 8 of them. It will look like an inverted shell (which is the point). With a shell you put 7 DC into 1 stitch, here you are making 7 DC culminate in 1 stitch. I had to watch the video to understand what was meant in the directions. Normally I see this referred to as a "cluster".
I am currently working row 5 but my pattern is not laying flat and has a bobble effect on the 7 DC worked into the single stitch on Row 4. I believe this is due to the skipping of the chain 3 spaces. Has anyone else had this issue? My work is starting to become crescent shaped. Not sure if this will resolve by the end. Suggestions? I also found the pattern to be too large at 101 chains and decreased by 10 as the pattern advises but now I feel perhaps I should have decreased by 20 given the size of the work so far.
Really wish there was a gauge or at least a finished diameter size so you can adjust if needed.
its really nice i like it
The count on the pattern makes the headband way to large for even an adult.
I reduced to 81 chains
Also stuck on row 4 – not laying flat at all. So disappointed as it’s such a pretty pattern. I’m not getting it – no detailed visual or chart. I’ve been crocheting for many years too
Can you help me please. Thevcatgerine wheel stitches are turning out more like bubble stitches. I don’t know where I’m going wrong with the pattern. Many thanks.
I loved this pattern and woul love to thank you for the detailed information 😊😊😊
