Granny Square Headband Crochet Pattern by Sara Sach

 Granny Square Headband 
Crochet Pattern and Video 


I had so much fun designing 
The Granny Square Headband. 
I got In My Medium (4) Cotton yarn and put fun 
colors together. The Pattern may look complicated
 but It's a super easy pattern.
I chose cotton yarns because I was thinking of how
 cute it is for a summer headband, but you can also 
use acrylic or any medium (4) weight yarn.


The headband can also be used as a hat band. 
 It would also make a great bag handles, 
and even a belt. I Just love a crochet pattern that
 can used for many different things.


But My favorite use for this Crochet Pattern 
is as a headband. And there are so many
 possibilities in colors and yarns. Like ombres, 
Variegated, stripy, solids or mix and match from
 your cotton yarn stash.
I love how each yarn style gives it a different look.

What colors will you be using?

Make at least 2 squares for each month.

I stitched up 2 squares of each of the crochet squares.
Next, I chose the yarn I wanted for my trim 
Scramble in the colorway Rainbow by SUNDANCE.
I ordered 3 balls from Herrschners yarn.
Each ball has 3.5 oz.

I stitched of 6  solid 6 inch squares.
Here is the Link I used: LINK

This Gave Me 30 Squares To Work with.

I randomly arranged the squares in a
 5 X 6 squares pattern.

>>Place the 1st 2 squares together, right sides out.
Join in the yarn, 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.
2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square,
 *ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 1st sq,
2 sc in the next sc of the 1st square,
ch 2, sk 2 sts of the 2nd sq,
2 sc in the next sc of the 2nd square*
Repeat from * to * across
 2 sc in the corner of the 1st square.
2 Sc in the corner of the 2nd square 

Please remember that one square may have more sts 
the the other, so you may need to sk 1 or 2 more sts to 
make them line up evenly

Repeat At >>  to <<
As you join each square


Once you have 6 squares Join
Repeat 5 Times


Join the 5 sets of 6 squares the same as above


stitching across the rows of 6 squares
