Description

This knit headband with a crochet flower combines a comfortable tapered band with a layered, dimensional flower. The headband is worked flat with knitting needles, while the flower is crocheted separately and sewn on at the end.

Ingredients

  • 1 ball RED HEART® 'Shimmerâ„¢' in Lime
  • 5 mm knitting needles
  • 4 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • One ¾-inch button

Instructions

  1. Cast on 7 stitches.
  2. Work the first three rows: Slip 1 stitch with the yarn in front (wyif), then knit to the end of each row.
  3. Work Row 4, the wrong-side row: Slip 1 stitch wyif, knit 1, purl until 2 stitches remain, then knit the last 2 stitches.
  4. Work Row 5: Slip 1 stitch wyif and knit to the end.
  5. Repeat Rows 4 and 5 until the piece measures 2 inches from the beginning. Finish this section with a wrong-side row.
  6. Work the increase row on the right side: Slip 1 stitch wyif, knit 1, make 1 increase (M1), knit to the last 2 stitches, make 1 more increase, then knit 2. You now have 9 stitches.
  7. Repeat the increase row every fourth row 3 more times. You will have 15 stitches after these three additional increase rows.
  8. Work even—without increasing or decreasing—until the piece measures 6½ inches from the beginning. Work the increase row once more. You now have 17 stitches.
  9. Continue working even until the piece measures 15 inches from the beginning. Finish with a wrong-side row.
  10. Work the decrease row on the right side: Slip 1 stitch wyif, knit 1, knit the next 2 stitches together (K2tog), knit until 4 stitches remain, slip the next 2 stitches one at a time as if to knit and knit them together through the back loops (ssk), then knit 2. You now have 15 stitches.
  11. Repeat the decrease row every fourth row 4 more times. You will return to 7 stitches.
  12. Work even for approximately 2 inches more.
  13. Check the fit. Try on the headband and adjust the number of rows at this point if needed.
  14. If necessary, work one more row so the next row begins on the right side, following a wrong-side row.
  15. Make the buttonhole row on the right side: Slip 1 stitch wyif, knit 2, yarn over (yo), knit the next 2 stitches together (K2tog), then knit 2.
  16. Work 3 rows even.
  17. Repeat the buttonhole sequence: Work one more buttonhole row, followed by 3 rows even.
  18. Bind off.
  19. For the flower: Form the center ring: Chain 5, then join with a slip stitch to make a ring.
  20. Round 1: Chain 5; this counts as 1 double crochet and 2 chain stitches. Work a double crochet into the ring, then chain 2. Repeat the sequence in brackets—[double crochet in the ring, chain 2]—5 times. Join with a slip stitch in the third chain of the beginning chain-5.
  21. Round 2: In each chain-2 space, work the following sequence: single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet. Repeat in all 6 chain-2 spaces. This makes 6 petals.
  22. Round 3: Hold the petals in front so you can work behind them into the double crochets from Round 1. Work a single crochet into a double crochet, then chain 3. Repeat [single crochet in the double crochet, chain 3] 6 times. Join to the first single crochet.
  23. Round 4: In each chain-3 space, work: single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, 3 treble crochets, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet. Repeat in all 6 spaces to make 6 petals.
  24. Round 5: Hold the petals in front again. Working into the single crochets from Round 3, work a single crochet into a single crochet, then chain 4. Repeat [single crochet in the single crochet, chain 4] 6 times. Join.
  25. Round 6: In each chain-4 space, work: single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, 5 treble crochets, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet. Repeat in all 6 spaces to make the final layer of 6 petals.
  26. Fasten off.
  27. Position the flower on the wide portion of the knitted headband.
  28. Sew the flower securely to the band with the yarn needle.
  29. Sew the button to the end opposite the buttonholes. Check that the button passes comfortably through a buttonhole.
  30. Weave in the remaining ends.

Notes

The pattern is best suited to a maker who knows basic knit and purl stitches, crochet chains and stitches, and how to join rounds.
