Hey Craftee, I’m a headband ‘liker’ and wearer. So after designing this free baby headband crochet pattern, it looked quite cute and I thought to myself, “why not make a larger size for yourself?”.

One of the loveliest things I like about crocheting headbands is that they help me practice stitches, are often easy to customise, and are quick to make, oh, let’s not forget that they are also good as last minute gifts; just a few rows or rounds and we have a finished item.
After designing the quick crochet heart embellishment, I decided to make a baby headband to go with it, you will find the written pattern in the printable format in my shops or you can follow the video tutorial on Yarn Craftee youtube channel.
The Shellart Baby Headband is such a pretty design that uses the crochet shell stitch, and it is super easy to customise. It is done in a multiple of six chains and worked in the round. You can make it as wide as you want with its two-row repeat.
