The crochet headband was also made with thick yarn, & it will keep you warm throughout fall & winter season, while still looking good!

About The Pattern
The I Love Cables Crochet Headband is a intermediate crochet pattern that uses beautiful stitches to create crochet cables.
It’s crocheted with bulky yarn & because of that it keeps you super warm for fall & winter. Change up the colors or use multiple colors to make it fit your style.
The best thing about this ear warmer pattern is the fact that you can crochet it in just one evening or maybe just a couple of hours, the perfect last minute Christmas gift!
Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
This pattern is written for 1 size, however size adjustments are suggested under the heading “Size & Measurements”.
At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
This pattern uses a smaller hook than you’d usually do for the thickness of the yarn used. This is done on purpose to give a really warm result. You will however have a result that will be a little stiff & won’t lay flat.

Size Adjustments
Make the headband wider by adding extra stitches before you start row 1, 2 stitches at a time.

Make the headband circumference wider or narrower by adding or reducing the number of rows you crochet.
