Hook and stitch this headband with spring inspired colors
This simple crochet headband with cross stitched hearts is perfect for spring or any other season that needs some happy colors. It is suitable for almost any adult size head and can be adjusted at the ends of the headband.

Abbreviations:

ch= chain
sc= single crochet
sc2tog= single crochet two together
stst= standing stitch

Techniques:

Single crochet two together: insert hook in first stitch and draw up loop, insert crochet hook in second stitch and draw up loop, pull yarn through both loops, now the two stitches have become one stitch.

Standing stitch: Make a slip knot onto your hook, insert hook in first stitch and make a single crochet like you normally would.

Cross stitch:
Cross stitches meet at the corners, so don't leave room between them.
I worked the cross stitches with my yarn held double, for a more denser look, but you can do whatever you like.

Step 1
For the crochet part of the headband:

Ch 10 + 1.
1. In second stitch from hook; sc across. (10 sc made), ch 1, turn.
2. Repeat row 1 for 39 more rows, you will have 40 rows of sc in total.

3. sc2tog, sc to last two stitches, sc2tog. (8 stitches left)
4. sc across. (8 stitches)
5. Repeat row 3 (6 stitches left)
6. sc across. (6 stitches)
7. Repeat row 3 (4 stitches left)
8. sc across (4 stitches)
9. Repeat row 8 for 9 more rows. (4 stitches)
10. Repeat row 3 (2 stitches left)
11. Sc the last two stitches together, you are left with one stitch.
12. ch 35 and cut the yarn.

Now you have the first part done. It should look like the picture.
Step 2
With a standing stitch; work rows 3 to 12 from the previous step on the other side of the headband.
Step 3
Your headband should now look like this.
Step 4
For the cross stitch part:

You make the cross stitches in between the crochet stitches. (See picture) In crochet the stitches shift a little as you can see, so be aware about that.
I did the cross stitches with my yarn held double, so it looked a bit denser.
Step 5
Insert your needle in the first opening, then go diagonal to the bottom right. insert your needle in last said opening and then through the first opening on your left. Pull the yarn through
Step 6
Go back up diagonally to your right. After that insert the needle in the second opening on your left. This is the beginning of a new cross stitch.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 of this tutorial to make the cross stitches.
Step 7
Stitch the cross stitch pattern like the picture or make your own pattern! Make sure to weave in ends as you go, or else it will be a complete mess in the back. I'm sure you don't want that ;)
