Teddy Bear Headband Crochet Pattern

Category: Crochet / Hats + Headbands / Patterns

I’ve had a recent fascination with crocheting animals, which I mainly blame on the fact that a few weeks ago we decided to grow our family by adding 2 adorable little guinea pigs! 
So in other words, this cozy teddy bear headband happens to be my latest”Animal Crocheting” indulgence… It was immensely fun to make, and has left me keen to make even more animal inspired patterns in the future!

If after creating this headband you’re still in a teddy bear mood, why not create some matching teddy baby booties? Or maybe try your hand at crocheting more animal inspired headbands like a Frog or Piggy?
