Crochet ear warmer with a crossover front FREE PATTERN.
The Aris Headband, a delightful crochet pattern with a twist front, is a quick and enjoyable project to crochet.
The pattern provides instructions for three sizes: small, medium, and large. It also gives tips on how to adjust the size and customize the headband.
Crochet earwarmer headbands are the main accessories in our house over the colder months.
And since posting a picture of my daughter wearing one I’ve had lots of orders! These are super popular and fast-sellers for craft fairs and winter market stalls etc.
The crochet headband is very easy to make! Very VERY quick and can be done whilst watching a movie as it really is quite a simple crochet project.
Even as a beginner at Crochet this easy Earwarmer headband with a cute front crossover twist is a fabulous beginner project with step by step tutorial.
Making the headband uses simple stitches, single crochet, and double crochet. The headband covers the ears and sits nicely at the top of the head without the bulkiness of the double twist crochet headbands.
Although this pattern is written for an adult, it really would be easy to customize it for other sizes.

TO Start The Crochet Headband
Ch 21 (20+1)
ROW 1: Sc in 2nd chain stitch from hook and continue to work 1 single crochet in each of the next chain stitches = 20 single crochets.
ROW 2: ch2, and work a double crochet into the base of chain 2, continue Working 1 double crochet in each stitch across, (20)
Row 3: ch1, Make your first single crochet into the base of ch1, and continue working Single crochet in each st across (20)
Continue working a Row2 and Row 3. Repeat until your work measures 8 inches.
Finishing with a double crochet ROW you are now going to divide your work into 2 parts as follows.
Work 1 SC in each of the first 10 stitches, turn and work back along with these 10 stitches
Continue the established pattern of double crochet, single crochet rows, back and forth over these first 10 stitches until it measures 5 inches from where it was divided making sure that the last row is a Double Crochet ROW.
Go back to the unworked 10 stitches and join yarn
Workover the 10 stitches in the same way as the previous length (adjust measurements/rows to make them equal). You need to make sure you END on a double crochet row.
Cross the first part over the second part. (you will single crochet across the first piece and then join single crochet along with the second piece. )
Continue to work in an established pattern over 20 stitches until the piece measures 23 inches. Fasten off.
TO finish
Sew together the start and end outer loops of edge stitches. By working in the front loops you will create a neat seam.
