I made a bunch of these headbands for quick Christmas presents. The purple one is the Elizabeth headband from Nadia’s Crochet free elegant crochet headbands web page. I used stash yarn for this but I’m pretty sure it is Red Heart Super Saver. The headband was really quick project with worsted weight yarn. Weaving in the ends probably took as much time as the actual project. Plus, the wrong side has a bobble look to it that I like.
The pink headband was from Family Circle Easy Crochet Spring 2007. I used left over yarn from my Through Any Window Baby Blanket. This one took about three times as much crocheting since it calls for a size F crochet hook and DK weight yarn. However, the shells were a repeating pattern and it was pretty easy to memorize.
Now I’m off to frantically crochet more Christmas gifts. I am seriously behind!
Dude, I totally feel you on Christmas projects. I was up til 1 am weaving in ends last night and I set my alarm this morning to 6:30 am to get working on whipstitching the 20 giant grannies I did into an afghan. Whipstitching plus a border took over 5 hours!!
Its just a little past 1am again and I’ve been working on an ami doll for one of my twin sisters. I thought it’d be a fairly quick project, but alas, I was wrong again! It took me 2 hours to do one leg!!! I’m about to go to bed and I have 2 legs and 1 arm done. When this one is done, I get to make another for the 2nd twin. I need to start my Christmas projects in May!!
I love the headbands, especially the purple one. I wear a headband nearly everyday, since I was 10 or so. It keeps the baby frizzies I have under control.
Good luck with the gift making!!!
I like your headbands. Good luck finishing your projects. This cold of mine has knocked me on my butt. I feel so behind and miserable. Don’t know what to do. It is nice to hear that I am not the only one behind. Good Luck!!!!
Girl, you’d better get a move on…tick tock, tick tock :)
The headbands are very cute. Looks like a perfect use for leftovers.
Have a good week and stay warm.
It seems like everyone is rushing to get crafts done by Christmas, including me! Good job on the headbands. Happy Holidays and good luck with all your projects – Im sure they’ll turn out fine.
