Introducing the Lux Headband, a beautiful headband with subtle texture.
It’s made using 100 % hand dyed merino yarn from Joy of Motion Yarn.
The headband can be used 3 different ways:
- On the right side.
- On the wrong side.
- With it crossed in the front (if you’re okay with it also crossed in the back)!
Honestly I love all 3!
This is the perfect headband if you love using variegated hand dyed yarn, as it uses less than half the skein of our Favorite DK, that means you can make 2, one for yourself & one as a gift!
Which makes it really affordable.

About the Lux Headband
The Lux Headband is the perfect headband for any occasion. It can be dressed up or down, depending on your style.
The stitch looks beautiful both from the right side and wrong side, so you can choose to show of both sides.
Personally I also think it looks amazing when you twist it in the front, & I don’t mind that it results in a twist in the back as well.
This pattern uses Joy of Motion Yarn Favorite DK & works up quickly.

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- 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 measures 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.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 1 size. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each round, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Stitches You Will Need
Foundation Single Crochet Stitch (FSC)
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev“chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches.
*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Instructions for the Lux Headband
Make 109 st using the FSC method, sl st in 1st st.
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st) hdc 1 in each st, sl st in 2nd ch from beg of round.
From now you will work in spiral, without ending rounds.
Place stitch marker in first stitch on round 2 & keep moving it each round to easily identify the first stitch of each round.
Note: The first stitch on round 2 is made in the same place as sl st from round 1.
Round 2-24*: *Hdc 1 in next st, sl st 1 in next st*, repeat from *to* until you have crocheted 24 rounds (=109 st).
*This means that from round 3, the slip stitches will be crocheted in hdc stitches from previous round, and hdc stitches will be crocheted in slip stitches.
Round 25: Hdc 1 in each st from prev round, sl st in 1st st (=109 st).
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
This headband can be used both with the right side out & the wrong side out. So try to weave in ends so they don’t show on either side.
