Moira has been crocheting since she was 14 years old. She loves experimenting with small crochet projects.

While photographing this headband, my baby woke up and wanted to wear it. Look at how unruly her hair is! She kept crying till I put it on!

Crocheted with Tarn (T-shirt Yarn)

The other night I suddenly felt like I want to try crocheting tarn (t-shirt yarn). So I looked for some of husband's worn out shirt and made some tarn. And the idea of making a headband just popped into my head since I really want to one ever since. It's a very simple headband, took me less than hour to make, if I would not include the time it took me to figure out what closure to use. ^^,

What I Used

1/4-in thick tarn from a white shirt

1 white button (from my husband's worn-out uniform)

5 in garter

3/0-4/0 double-pointed aluminum crochet hook (I used the 3/0 side)

1 tapestry needle for weaving ends

1 sewing needle for sewing the button, garter and flower.

white sewing thread

yellow textile paint

paint brush



I hope this crude and shortened version of the pattern helps you visualize how to crochet the headband. ^^,

Project Instructions

HEADBAND:

Ch 120, equivalent to a length from behind my left ear to the back of my right ear.

Ch 1, sc in all 120 chs. Ch 1, turn.

3sc, ch 114, 3 sc on the other end. Ch 1, turn.

120 sc. Break off and weave in ends.

FLOWER:

I crochet the flower using a pattern that is now lost. This flower is part of my experiment to combine various free crochet flower patterns on the net that I really loved. I used only white tarn for this so I colored the petals with yellow textile paint.

ASSEMBLY:

Sew the flower on the head band.

On one end sew the button and on the other end the garter.



The headband I made was just too flashy for my style, so I gave it to my younger sister. She loved it so much she wore it to school the next day. Her classmates liked her headband a lot. Not a very good photo, isn't it? But I love her smile. ^^,
