Sizing Guide for the Textured Headband

This stitch pattern is easy to size because your starting chain controls the width, and the number of rows controls the length.

Width (height of headband)

With Ch 14 using worsted weight (4) yarn and a 5 mm hook, the band measures approx. 5.5 in / 14 cm tall.
(Adjust width by adding or subtracting chains; each additional chain adds ~0.25 in / 0.6 cm.)

Length (head circumference)

SizeHead CircumferenceSuggested LengthApprox. Rows
Baby14–16″ (35.5–40.5 cm)13–14″15–17 rows
Toddler16–18″ (40.5–46 cm)15–16″18–20 rows
Child18–20″ (46–51 cm)17–18″22–24 rows
Teen/Small Adult20–22″ (51–56 cm)18–19″25–28 rows
Adult22–23″ (56–58.5 cm)19–20″30–33 rows
Large Adult23–24″ (58.5–61 cm)20–21″34–36 rows

Tip:
Because the stitch has natural stretch, aim for 1 inch (2.5 cm) shorter than the actual head measurement for a snug, comfy fit.

Row 1

Chain 14.
Hdc in the back loop only of the 3rd chain from your hook, and in each chain across. (12 hdc)

Row 2

Ch 2 and turn.
Work 2 hdc right into the gap between your first and second stitches.
Skip the next 2 stitches, 2 hdc in the next gap. Repeat across.

Continue placing 2 hdc in each V down the row.
End with 1 hdc around the ch-2 again. (12 hdc)

Rows 4–45

Repeat Row 3 until your headband reaches the length you like I worked 46 rows.


Finishing

Fold your headband in half so the short edges meet.
Ch 1.
Slip stitch the edges together: go under the full stitch on the side you’re finishing and the leftover front loop from Row 1.
Work your way up the seam, fasten off, and weave in your ends.

Turn your headband and enjoy!
