DIY: 3 Ways! How To Make A Crochet Braided Headband.

Hello there! Here is a fun pattern for creating a crochet braided headband. Wanting to show different ways to create them,  I have fashioned up 3 headband methods that you can make. You can wear these headbands with all types of hair styles and you can even mix match the yarn to add an eclectic flair to it!

The Ingredients: (I used)  
>>Yarn of your choice
>>H/8-5.00MM Hook  
>>Yarn Sewing Needle  
>>Scissors
>>Crochet technique (SC=single crochet & HDC= half double crochet)

The Single Braided Headband:
You will want to measure the radius around your head and chain according to the length necessary. Ensure that it fits one or two chains loose, just in case it is too snug.
You will want to create 3 of these long chains. I chained about 83. Knot the chain & cut.
With the sewing needle and a bit of yarn, thread the yarn in the needle and from the top of the chain, thread through the first chain of all three to connect them. Knot the thread, connecting them and cut.
Next, you will braid all three of the long chains together.

Once it is braided, you will thread your sewing needle with yarn and connect all three long chains, closing the braid. Knot the thread, connecting them and cut.
You will connect the braid from the top to the bottom, sewing it together. Knot the thread, connecting them and cut. With yarn, wrap around the sewn part, to make it look neat and you're finished!

 

The Double Braided Headband:
You will want to follow the same methods in creating this headband, from the previous tutorial.
Though you will be creating it twice for this tutorial.
Once you have completed both of the braids you will want to connect them.

With both of the headbands, you will hold the back of the headbands, thread them together and wrap extra yarn around both of the headbands together. (like the photo on the right, above) Sew the wrapped yarn together and cut. You are done!

 

The Chunky Braided Headband:
You will create the chain as previous, though you wiill HDC (half double crochet) for two rows only.
Exp: Ch 83
Row 1: HDC in all CH turn
Row 2: HDC in all,, knot and cut.
You will create three of these chains for the braid.
Connecting the braids, using a sewing needle and yarn. (like photo below on the left)

Braid the chains and once again sew the end together (like the photo on the right above.)
Connect both of the ends together, cut half an inch of yarn to wrap the ends with yarn, sew and cut, like the previous patterns.

 

DIY: How To Make The Crochet Braided Belt.

Here is an easy tutorial on how to make a crocheted braided belt! The only prior knowledge you need, is of course, the basic crochet steps, featuring the technique of a half double crochet and braiding. You can wear the belt either long or for a snug fit, I personally, like my belts to be a bit longer so that I can create cool little loops with the extra length! It's a fun accessory to wear, with dresses, skirts and jeans, whatever you fancy!

 The Ingredients: (I used)
>>Yarn of your choice
>>H/8-5.00MM Hook
>>Yarn Needle
>>Scissors
>>2 Metal D Rings

Now, you want to measure your waist, or take your favorite belt and chain depending on the measurements. I like my belts a bit longer, so I chained about 175.

For the second row, you want to HDC the entire row! At the end, knot and cut off.

Next, you will want to create about 3 of these chains.

Cut off a nice length of yarn to thread. You will need less than an inch or so.

Place all three of the chains to together and thread through the top of the chains. Knot the thread together and cut.

Once the 3 chains are secure, start braiding the 3 chains all the way to the end.

Once again, you will cut off a piece of yarn to thread the ending of the 3 chain braid together

Next, you will take the top of the 3 chain braid, have the 2 D rings, fold the top of the braid through the D rings and with yarn thread the top of the braid to fasten it. Secure the thread, knot and cut! Boom, you are done.

Found this little dude right next to me while I was shootingt, just straight chillin'! :p Oh and please let me know, if any of this tutorial was a bit confusing and I will do my best to walk you through it! :)
