Shimmer Headband

Free crochet pattern viewable at: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2025/12/shimmer-headband.html

The Shimmer Headband is a no-sew crochet accessory that works up quickly using simple stitches. It features a beautiful texture and two tying straps. It is easily adjustable in length, so you can customize it to fit any head size simply by adding more or fewer rows. It is a versatile pattern that can be crocheted with different yarn types and fibers, such as acrylic, cotton, wool, and more. It’s lovely in solid colors to show off the textured stitch pattern, as well as with color-changing yarn to show an ombre or variegated look. This hairband also works as earwarmers during the cooler Fall and Winter seasons. Crochet it as a quick holiday gift or stocking stuffer, for selling at markets and craft fairs, or for yourself to wear! The written pattern includes progress photos to help beginners through the process.
