Hi! How are you doing today? Anyone else have a bit too full of cookies belly? Because I sure do. I made like 3 batches of cookies on Sunday and I’ve eaten a very large amount of them – worth it, they were so yummy.

So, this week’s new pattern is very easy and super cute. I wrote this pattern a while ago but it didn’t get on the list until this week because it’s been a busy season. I designed it for Black Friday because I work retail and I wanted to look festive. I wrote it up in 3 sizes so it’s super easy for you to be able to find one that works for you (if you’re making one for yourself or someone else).

You can purchase this pattern for in my Ravelry shop.

Materials

  • US J (6.00 mm) crochet hook
  • US L (8.00 mm) crochet hook
  • Aran/ medium/ size #4 weight yarn
  • Tapestry/ Yarn needle

Gauge: 9 rows x 13 HBhdcs = 4″

Terms/ stitches used

Notes

  • Both the headband the bow are worked in the round, with a slip st at the end of the row into the first stitch of that same row. If you’re making the bow, you work the bow separably and then attach it to the band.
  • The bow is the same height as the headband, just smaller.
  • This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
  • The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
  • For the slip st rows, you should probably go up to a larger hook so that the fabric doesn’t get too tight and these rows will be worked into the back loop only. At the end of the row, slip st into both loops of your 1st st, this will help to keep your seam straight.
  • In the photos, color A is the white (RHSS in White) and color B is the red (RHSS in Red). Or in the purple and cream, color A is Purple (Red Heart Soft in Berry) and color B is cream (Red Heart Soft in Off-White).
