Before you can crochet a headband, you need to know how to crochet. If you already know how to crochet then you can skip this step. However, if you are like me and have never crocheted before then this is one of the most important steps in the process.
Where to Begin
When you start crocheting any project, you will need to start with a slip knot. For me it is difficult to follow written directions. It is much easier to watch someone make a slip knot and then do it on your own, so here is a video tutorial that helped me learn how to make a slip knot: Slip Knot Tutorial
Chain Stitch
The next step in learning how to crochet a headband is learning how to do a chain stitch. This type of stitch is the one I used to make my headband. I like how this stitch looks, and it went well with the style of headband I chose. There are several other types of stitches you can learn if you don't like how this one looks. Again, I have a link to a tutorial that will help you learn how to make a chain stitch: Chain Stitch Tutorial
Single Stitch
After learning how to make a chain stitch, you will need to learn how to do a single stitch. A single stitch is making rows of chain stitches on top of one another. You will need to make a few of these to make your headband thicker. To learn how to make a single stitch, I have a link to another tutorial that helped me learn how: Single Stitch Tutorial
If you have successfully learned how to do all of the steps above then you are on your way to crocheting a headband of your own!
