Free Pattern: Lacy Tie-Back Headband - All Sizes


I saw a headband like this for sale on Etsy, and this was my attempt at it.  I love the way it turned out, so sophisticated.  It's lovely alone, and it would be a great base for a flower or other decoration.  Tie-backs make great gifts, since they fit such a range of head-sizes.

Supplies:
Sport weight yarn (baby weight)
Size 3.5mm hook (4/E)

Abbreviations:
Ch - chain
Dc - double crochet
Dctog - double crochet together (explained within the pattern)
YO - yarn over

Size note:
Baby size should fit through toddler; kids, teens and adults should all be able to use the adult size.  If you find your chains very tight or someone has a bigger head or very thick hair, simply add chains to the beginning chain and the end chain.




Instructions:

Adult - ch 53
Baby - ch 43

Row 1: 3dc in 4th ch from hook.  Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: In sp directly in the middle (On one side ch3 and one dc, 2 dc on the other side), 4 dc.  Dc into top ch of ch3.  Ch 3, turn.
Row 3- [Adult 33][Baby 23]: In sp directly in the middle (2dc on either side), 4 dc.  Dc into top ch of ch3.  Ch 3, turn.
Row 34: Skip one dc. 3dctog in 2 middle dcs and (skip one dc) in the top ch of ch 3.  (3dctog=In each st indicated, make a dc within one step of completion (4 loops on hook).  YO, pull loop through all loops on hook.).

Adult - ch 50
Baby - ch 40

Finish off, trim ends short.  If you are worried about the yarn loosening, you can add a dab of glue to the knots.  Weaving in probably won't work because a headband gets stretched a lot, and the weaving in would loosen and become visible.

  4. Is it me, or does this pattern not make any sense? I've been trying to work this out for almost an hour and row 2 is frustrating to understand the way it's written. Anyone have an easier way to explain this to a beginner? Thank you.
