Tunisian crochet is a versatile craft that can create a variety of beautiful and functional items, from blankets and scarves to accessories like hairbands. In this tutorial, we will explore a simple and stylish Tunisian crochet hairband pattern that is easy to follow and perfect for beginners.
To make this hairband, you will need a Tunisian crochet hook, yarn, and a tapestry needle. You can choose any yarn and hook size that you prefer, but a medium-weight yarn and a hook size of 4.5-5.5mm are recommended.
Begin by making a foundation chain of 12 stitches. Then, work Tunisian simple stitch (TSS) into each stitch across the row. At the end of the row, do not turn your work. Instead, slide your loop to the other end of the hook, so that the working yarn is at the left-hand side.
Next, work a forward pass by picking up a loop in each stitch across the row. At the end of the row, you should have 12 loops on your hook.
For the next row, work a return pass by pulling the yarn through the first loop on your hook, and then through two loops at a time until you have only one loop left on your hook.
Repeat these two rows until your work measures approximately 18-20 inches, or until it fits comfortably around your head.
To finish your hairband, fold it in half lengthwise, with the wrong side facing out. Then, use a tapestry needle to sew the two ends together, taking care to weave in your ends as you go.
And there you have it – a beautiful and easy Tunisian crochet hairband that is perfect for any occasion! With this simple pattern, you can experiment with different colors and yarns to create your own unique hairbands. Tunisian crochet may seem intimidating at first, but with a little practice and patience, you'll soon be creating stunning projects like this one.
