Free Pattern: Baby Lucy Headbands

While I was in Texas visiting my daughter and her new baby girl, Lucy Jane, she asked me to make her some headbands. I had a few skeins of yarn from other projects with me and whipped up a few.

We giggled at how cute she was with her giant bow.

 

When I got home I made her some more headbands. I love interchangeable things so I made her some with flowers and a shamrock for her first St. Patrick’s Day.

I added a leaf to the flower and think it turned out really cute. I hope you like these too.

If you make some headbands or the embellishments please share photos and add #snappytots so I’ll be sure to see.

 

Lucy Headbands

This pattern is available for free below or you can purchase an ad-free, downloadable PDF of this pattern with all of the photos from my Ravelry Shop.

Description

A simple stretchy band for newborn to 12 months with interchangeable flowers and shamrock.

Materials

    • Yarn: worsted weight in a variety of colors. Samples were made with Red Heart Super Saver, Red Heart Ombre (blue with bow), Red Heart Creme de la Creme
    • Crochet Hooks: H, I
  • Miscellaneous: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, ¾” button, sewing needle and thread

Details

    • Finished Measurements (flat): 2.25” at widest part x desired length (see #11 of instructions)
  • The back is more narrow and stretchy.

Tips

    • First stitch of each row is worked into the same  stitch as the turning chain.
  • Numbers at the beginning of each line may refer to  steps and not indicate number of rows.

Directions – Newborn to 12 Months

1. With an I hook and yarn (color of choice), ch 7, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (6sts)

2-8. Ch 1, turn, sc in same st, sc 4 in BLO, sc in last st.

9. Ch 2, turn, 2hdc in same st, hdc 4 in BLO, 2hdc in last st. (8sts)

10. Ch 2, turn, hdc in same st, *hdc in BLO, hdc in FLO*, repeat twice, hdc in last st.

11. Repeat previous step until headband measures the following length for desired size:

    • Newborn: 12”
    • 3 Months: 14.5”
    • 6 Months: 15.5”
  • 12 Months: 16.5”

Note: headbands should be approximately 1.5”-2” shorter than head circumference.

12. Ch 1, turn, sc2tog, sc 4, sc2tog. (6sts). Finish off, leaving a tail long enough for sewing edges together.

Line up beginning and end rows. With a yarn needle and yarn tail, sew the two short ends together and weave in yarn tail.

With a sewing needle and thread, sew a large button to the front of the band, to the side of center.

 

Embellishments

Flower

  2. Work 10sc around chain, sl st to join. (10sts)

  5. Change yarn colors if desired. Ch 2, (dc, 3tr, dc) around first chain, *ch 2, (dc, 3tr, dc) around the next chain*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. Finish off and weave in ends.

Leaf (optional)

1. Leave approximately 6” of yarn at beginning. With an I hook and green yarn, ch 6, sl st in last ch from hook to form a circle.

2. This step is worked around the beginning ch 6. Ch 1, sc, hdc, 2dc, ch 1, 2dc, hdc, sc, sl st to join.

3. Ch 1, turn, sc in each st to tip of leaf, (sc, ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc) in tip of leaf, sc in each st to end, sl st to join. Finish off, leaving approximately 6” of yarn.

Tie the two yarn tails together. Use these tails to attach the leaf to the back of the flower. Weave in ends.

 

Bow

Measurement: 5” across x 2.5” wide

1. With an I hook and yarn (color of choice), ch 9, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (8sts)

2-11. Ch 2, turn, hdc in each st to end of row.

12. Ch 1, turn, sc in each st to end of row. Finish off and weave in ends.

Cut a piece of matching yarn approximately 18” long. Tie one end of the yarn to the center back of the bow. Wrap the yarn around the center of the bow, cinching in the center, several times, leaving a 6” tail. Secure the yarn at the back and use the remaining tail to sew the bow to the headband.

 

Shamrock

Measurement: 3”

Tip: do not crochet over the beginning yarn tail. You won’t want to cinch the hole closed. The center opening needs to slip over the button when complete.

1. With an H hook and green yarn, ch 6, sl st in last ch from hook to form a circle.

2. This step creates the stem. Ch 6, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc, sc 2, sl st around beginning chain (from step 1).
