Crochet Ribbon and Hearts Hatbands

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. Since Valentines day is just around the corner I decided to make some headbands for my grand daughters. These headbands worked up very fast and are easy to make. I wanted a design that allowed me to use ribbon in the band and had a border worked in, rather than added to it. I tried several variations and they all worked out well.




Supplies: Worsted Weight yarn
Size H Hook
Ribbon (I used ¼ and and 5/8)
Embellishments of your choice


Measurement: 1 ¾ inches wide, length about ½ inch to 1 inch shorter then circumference of head.
Stitch gauge not necessary

Stitches used: chain, single crochet (sc), slip stitch
Turning Picot: chain 2, slip stitch 2nd chain from hook, chain 1

Instructions:
For ¼ or 3/8 ribbon size chain 6, for 5/8 ribbon chain 5.

For ¼ or 3/8 ribbon:
Rd. 1: sc in second chain from hook, chain 2, skip 2 chains and sc in last chain (infants)
sc in second chain from hook, sc in next chain, chain 2, sc in last 2 stitches, work Turning Picot
(chain 2, slip stitch in 2nd chain from hook, chain 1),
turn work.

Repeat this round until desired length is reached, ending with turning picot. Slip stitch both ends
together (ending with 1st chain of first turning picot made), break yarn.

For 5/8 ribbon: chain 5, sc in second chain from hook, chain 3, skip 2 chain, sc in last chain, make turning picot.



Ribbon: Since ribbon doesn't stretch, it needs to be the size of the circumference of the head + 2 inches for securing ends. I added another 1/2 inch to an inch to allow for growing room. The Headband will stretch to accommodate the ribbon. Thread ribbon through loops. (I started with the joined section of the band.) Up through the wrong side, over 2 loops, under 1 loop; repeat. I stretched the headband slightly before cutting the ribbon. Leave about 1 inch tail of ribbon on each end. Sew ends of ribbon together on wrong side. Don't forget to singe ribbon to prevent fraying. For added security sew end pieces of ribbon to the inside of the band.




If you want to use the headband without appliques or clips, rows should end in multiples of 3. Otherwise you may run 1 or 2 loops short when threading your ribbon. Appliques and hair clips applied over the seamed area, will not only hide the seam but also any shortfall of loops.

I am still writing up the patterns for the hearts I made. Should be able to post those later in the day.
Unless I specify that I used  a pattern created by someone else, the pattern is my original. You are free to make or sell products made with any of my patterns. Please don't redistribute or claim my patterns as your own.

If you need help with any of my projects or are stuck on a project of your own, please leave me a message and I will try to help you along as much as I can.

Rd. 2: chain 1sc into same stitch, chain 2, (hdc, ch 1) in next 2 stitches, (sc, ch 1) next 4 stitches, (dc, ch1, dc) in next stitch, (sc, ch 1) next 4 stitches, (hdc, ch 1) next 3, slip stitch in center of heart.

The flower I used for the center came from a pattern I found at : http://easymakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010/07/6-petal-puff-stitch-flower.html

I did change the first row of her pattern from sc to dc to accommodate my grand daughters request for a big rhinestone in the center.  

 If you find any errors in my patterns, please let me know.

  1. Because of the frauds nature Slimifit of this function, customer issues and opinions all focus upon the organization and the absence of sufficient customer support, rather than concentrating upon the item itself. A not many a lot of individuals have described that the item did not advantages them, or that they did not get thinner while using the item, but most of their opinions always focus upon the immediate and continuing expenses of the dealings.
    Sent the hardly ever used section arriving back, as directed by cellphone Slimifit Garcinia Cambogia , they have not came back my cash and when I contact they say they cannot yet. It has been Two several a few weeks.

  4. الآن للجزء الصعب: معرفة كيف ستمول بالضبط هذا التجديد. أولاً ، ألقِ نظرة على أموالك الحالية. هل لديك ما يكفي من النقود لتغطية التجديد؟ إذا كان الأمر كذلك ، عظيم. إذا لم يكن الأمر كذلك ، فستحتاج إلى اقتراض أموال من أجل المشروع. ما لم يكن لديك عرابة خرافية على استعداد لإقراضك نقودًا ، نوصيك إما باستخدام قرض لأسهم المنزل أو حد ائتمان المنزل (HELOC) ، حيث يمكن لمالكي المنازل اقتراض أموال مقابل منازلهم. يستخدم العديد من مالكي المنازل أيضًا بطاقات الائتمان لتمويل مشاريع التجديد الخاصة بهم. قد تكون هذه فكرة جيدة - على افتراض أن لديك خطة لسداد هذه البطاقات الائتمانية. إذا كان لديك ائتمان قوي ، فقد تتمكن أيضًا من الحصول على قرض من SoFi ، وهي شركة تمويل شخصية عبر الإنترنت تقدم قروضًا وقروضًا شخصية للأفراد ذوي الدخل المرتفع.
