Make your own Willow Ear Flap Headband 🤍
Worked sideways in back-loop slip stitch, this headband combines soft, stretchy ribbing with shaped ear panels and long ties. Two yarns held together create a softly marled texture, while a simple border completes the look.
Inspired by the original knitted design by @holliemercedes, I created a similar crochet version for those who, like me, cannot knit.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Downloadable PDF pattern in English, using US crochet terms
• Detailed row-by-row instructions
• Construction sketches and finished measurements
• Instructions for both ear panels and ties
• Slip-stitch joining and complete border instructions
• A quick-reference row checklist
The pattern includes the complete finished look, including the edging, which is not shown in some of my short videos.
SKILL LEVEL
Confident beginner / intermediate. You should be comfortable working chains, slip stitches and single crochet. The pattern explains how to extend and shorten rows to shape the ears and ties.
SIZE & FIT
One adult sample size:
• Approximately 54–56 cm finished circumference
• Approximately 9 cm band depth, including edging
• Approximately 39 cm from the upper edge to the tie tips
The fabric has stretch. Check your gauge and try the band over your intended cap before joining. Guidance for adjusting the straight sections is included.
