My husband came home one day
with a headband he had found in a parking lot (I know...sooo sanitary)
and said "I bet you could make one of these"
so I did...because I'm all for stealing awesome ideas.
Difficulty: Medium
Time: 30 minutes
Cost: Under $10
Fun-ness: Why would I do a boring project?
Materials:
Yarn (100% cotton for a crisp look, acrylic for a softer look)
Size H or J hook
Ribbon (approximately 1/2 inch wide)
Hot Glue Gun
Directions
Step 1: Creating the Chains
Crochet 2 separate chains of the same color. One should be approximately 160 chains long (the short one). The other should be approximately 300 chains long (the long one). Fold both chains into thirds, and then fold each chain in half (like a rainbow). Play with the ends until they are about even.
Step 3: Prepping the strands:
Step 2: Tying your knot
This is a little hard to explain, so I've made picture directions...
Step 3: Prepping the strands:
Hot glue each of the individual strands to one another in a row. Once they are secure, chop off the uneven ends with scissors, leaving a nice straight end. Do this to the other side as well.
Step 4: Attaching your ribbons
Cut your ribbon into 4 pieces - two 4inch strands, two 15inch strands. Glue one of the 15 inch strands onto the end of your crocheted headband. Wrap the strand with one of the 4 inch pieces, hot gluing as you go; this will give it a finished look. Repeat on the other side. Once done, melt the ribbon ends with a stove burner (or lighter) to keep from fraying.
And that's it!
So wear your headband with pride! And when someone asks, tell them you are awesome, and made it yourself!
Love the headband, but don't want to make it yourself? Don't fret, because I'm selling them over at my Etsy Shop!

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing it on Thrilling Thursday @ Paisley Passions. Hope you stop by again soon :)
SUPER CUTE :))
love it
Looks great, I've got tons of yarn scraps, I'll give it a shot. stop by sometime, domesticdeadline.blogspot.com
This could not have come at a better time. I have been searching the web for a crochet headband pattern. No need to search any further. You did a great job with this one. Thanks for the tut as well. :)
I made this my Friday Fun Feature for today! I also made my own version. Feel free to grab my featured button and check it out!
http://ashleyscrafts.blogspot.com/2011/02/friday-fun-feature-crochet-headband.html
I just finished making mine! It turned out so cute!!

Your headbands are a perfect present for my sister!
question though: could you add a approximate length too? Everything I crochet tends to be too small (I always have gauge issues!) and it would help to know how long the strands need to be.
I just started this one, and my long strand, when folded over into six is only about 8 inches long, which is too short to make it really work. (fortunately, this is so easy I can just whip out another one!)
This is absolutely one of the cutest things on the planet! Would love to make it, but even just the word "crochet" terrifies me :) I may just order one!!
Love it! I have some yarn and going to try this out! Thank you for such a pretty and useful craft!
I featured this today because I LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing...come get a "featured" button :)
soo cute!! I think I may have to try this after I finish all the scarves I have to make :)
i tried this and it was so easy and fun to make :)
I featured you on my blog...please feel free to stop by, check it out, and grab my button :)

I can't believe you made this!!!!!!! woooooooowww!!! great job :)
This is awesome!
Is there a way to make this without having to crochet? I can't! :(
AH!! I bookmarked this page so I could come back to it, and now the images won't load for me! :( Is it an error on my end? I hope so.
Love the pattern though! Cna't wait to finish it! I will check back....
I too wanted to make this, but cant load the pictures.
Ive bookmarked this as well and have created my chains but the pics wont load to let me finish. I LOVE this project and hope the pictures get fixed soon! :)
Just made some of these tonight! I'm relatively new at crafting and just started blogging again. Made a link to your tutorial at my site. Thanks for sharing the awesomeness!

It looks beautiful! Thanks!!
Found your tutorial via Craftzine & immediately made one. I love it. Thanks for making & sharing such a great tutorial. I added a link to your tutorial on Ravelry.com for my fellow crochet junkies. :-)
This is one of my favorite things I've made yet! And it took no time at all so I made 2 :D
this is really cute!
So awesome! I have to steal it from you. Thank you. I've been struggling to learn crochet, and can't get past the chain stitch. Glad I came across this. I pinned it, too!
seriously so darn cute. I have to put this on my to make list!!!
Very impressive work, I like it.

Crochet...Gotta Love It!

I just made a black and grey one! thanks for these instructions! it was so easy!
This is sooo great!! Easy to understand the instructions and great pictures!! I made a couple for Christmas presents and they were so cute!! I think I will make one for myself now...
Hi there
Thanks for the tutorial, I really like this headband and made me one. I blogged about it and included a link to your tutorial. Also, I pinned it on Pinterest :-)
Here is the link to my blog post:
Awesome! I love The Knotted Headband... Linking up tomorrow at Tangled Happy. Thanks so much for sharing this. A perfect project for beginner crocheters!
Wow, that is really cute! Love it. Thanks for sharing!
i totally have that turquoise flannel used as your background! i used it to back my niece's first little quilt she made. =) gonna try this headband, thanks!!
Made one this afternoon! So easy! I made it out of aqua cotton ease. I used brown grosgrain ribbon to hide in my brown hair and the texture to hold the knot. :) Thanks for the tut!
Just made it! Thanks for the tutorial. This was my first crochet project ever and it was easy. I feel like I can now tackle more projects.
Thanks so much... just made one for my sister for her birthday. I used dark "jeanish" blue yarn to go with jeans.
Lydia B.
I just finished making this! It was super easy! I'm going to use these as a fundraiser for my sorority. Thank you so much for putting up the instructions!
I wonder if I can knit something like this, and if so, how could I do that?
What a nifty no-sew tutorial! I included it in my roundup of fabulous and free headband tutorials and you can check it out here: http://darlingadventures.com/?p=470
I love your tutorials! This is the first one I've used and I have to say, the pictures with the arrows for each step are a LIFE SAVER! Thank you so much!
~Amanda
LOVE this!
Just finished one for my little girl! Now I want to make one for my self! I am tempted to go the the store & buy every color yarn I can find!!!
I just finished this headband and I LOVE it! I can't wait to wear it out.
This is so cute!
I just bought some ice-cream coloured yarn (minty green etc) so will have to try this with the new yarn!!
Fab blog too :)
http://sequins-and-glitter.blogspot.co.uk
I gave it a go last night!!
I didnt have a glue gun but it was so easy and looks sooo cute!!
http://sequins-and-glitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/my-kingdom-for-glue-gun.html
I don't know how to crochet the hard parts, but I understand the chain! That is absolutly adorable! I love it! Since I'm a beginner and all you have to do is make chains, I am so in for it! Thank's so much! :D
I love this, but when I made it, the hot glue made a HUGE mess! The headband has random dots of glue all over :( I love this so I think I am going to try to do it some way without the glue? Anyway, thanks for the tutorial!
Hey!!! Thanks sooo much for this amazing tutorial! I made mine red and then braided each side side tightly, so that the knot was more pronounced.So if anyone doesn't want to use glue, that looks good! Will be looking for further tutorials,
Brianna
Made this last night and it is SO cute!! Made it with white yarn, and with ribbon that is white with blue lettering saying "Eat, Drink & Be Married!"
Your tutorial is great!! Thanks for sharing, I know what I'll be making for Christmas presents this year!
I love this headband and am new to crochet but wanted to try it out. My chain seems to be much more loose than yours. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I bought the J hook, maybe I just need more practice? I am trying to pull it tight but it's still not looking like yours. Let me know if you have any suggestions to help me learn!! Thanks!
I used this post for adding ribbon to a 5 strand t-shirt headband, but your knot looks really cool. I'll probably try it sometime. Thanks =)
Super cute!!! I hope you visit my blog!
http://inkarapoozville.blogspot.com/
I made this with blue and purple yarn. It is super cute, thank you for sharing. On another note, your blog inspired me to make my own blog - Knits by Britt. I would love for you to check it out at http://knitsbybritt.blogspot.com . I would also love to share a link to your blog on my page. Would that be ok with you? :)
we miss you!!! are you not posting any more???
Thanks for the easy-to-follow instructions! I just made one for my friend's birthday. She loves it!
I can't crochet so i used thick industrual yarn an it works!
This is super cute, but when you finish the ribbon ends, do you tie them behind the head? or do you glue them to the other side and make a loop? Thanks a ton.
It was so Easy and Cute! Thank you so much. Loved it!
Thanks so much! I just made one using elastic instead of ribbon and it's so cute!
Very lovely project for someone with curly hair.
i made one for my lil sis's b-day today (happy b-day AMYNJIMMY!!!!) and had a ton of time so...i made one for me! one is purple(her fave color) and mine is soft white! you are so cleaver!!!thanks Heidi

I really like the look of this knot headband, the little strings are very original. I'm surprised it only takes you 30 minutes, it always takes me at least 1 hour to get it to the right size for my hair.
