Crochet Flower Headband – Sharp Crochet Hook Review & Giveaway!
This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Sharp Crochet Hook. All opinions expressed in this post are my own.
I’ve never been a fan of adding crochet edgings and embellishments to fabric. Maybe because I hated poking holes and trying to figure out how to attach my yarn. I recently had the opportunity to try out a Sharp Crochet Hook, which allows you to crochet directly into fabric without pre-poking any holes! It’s pretty cool. The hook even comes with a book filled with great ideas for skirts, shoes, and so much more!
I decided to try my newly gifted Sharp Crochet Hook on some plain fold-over elastic headbands. Instead of crocheting a flower and gluing or sewing onto a headband, I just crocheted it right onto the headband! Here’s how you can embellish a plain old headband with some yarn or thread and a Sharp Crochet Hook:
1. Insert your Sharp Crochet Hook, from front to back, into the center of the loop of your interchangeable fold-over elastic headband. (Don’t go all the way through to the other side of the headband).
2. Join your yarn (or thread) and ch 3.
3. [2 dc, ch 3, sl st] all into the center of the loop.
4. [ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st] into the center of the loop, 4 more times. Fasten off.
Attach a cute button to the center and you’re all done!

I’ve been tempted to get one of these to make lace embellishments on men’s shirts for a steam punk look. This comes with some patterns to start you on your way. I like that.
I’ve been wanting to try one of these.
I have wanted a sharp crochet hook for several months since I learned about them. I would like to know the difference between it and the edge it brand if anyone knows. Thank you. I hope to make the cute little rainbow purse with V stitch (I think) and zipper closure. Plus more!!
I would try to add edging to a fleece blanket. I usually use a wing needle on my sewing machine, but this would be a lot easier than lugging out the machine.
Edging on a small decorative quilt would be something I would try.
I think I might edge some kitchen towels or pillowcases.
I would definitely make headbands since I have 2 girls. I would also make those shoes on the cover of the book.
Thanks for the opportunity.
This would be great to attach backings to blankets!
Ohh I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for a long time and now if I’m lucky I might win one *crosses fingers*.
Thanks for this great give-away.
Love the headbands, my daughter would it if I could make something like this for her. She’s such a girly girl (most of the times anyway)
What a great idea! Would love to try this.
i want to add some edgings on to plain cardigans i own and onto blankets oooh and headbands also shoes n maybe sock heck if it doesnt move or i can pin it down it will get a new edging lol 🙂 x
Cute headband.
I almost bought one of these, but didn’t know if it would be as good as advertised. I also have RA in my hands, so I don’t have a lot of strenght. I would like to add fabric backings to some of the baby blankets I make.
This will be great to make headbands; I have 2 granddaughters , so I could make them some and also share with some friends. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the headbands
I love this! I didn’t know about them! Great idea!
I have needed a sharp hook for so long! So tired of poking holes!
Would love to make the cute headbands!
I enjoy finding & learning new crochet techniques. This will be so much fun.
This is so cool. I have always loved edging on some fabrics. Would be perfect for headbands for my granddaughters, and for the things I make for the babies that are born in the birthing center where I work.
I pinned a cute pair of jean shorts with a crocheted edging 🙂
I believe I’ll try the headband like the one you created!
I would use it mostly for attaching zips.
To make crocheted edgings on baby blankets and tee shirts
I have been looking forward to doing some blanket edgings I saw recently. I have lots of other ideas using a sharp hook. Thanks for your tutorial 😉
I’ve never used this type of hook before but it excites my imagination and I’d love to try some new ideas.
I’m just starting and I would love love this!
Headbands and the edges of the zipper 😀
Hope I Win 🙂
I would turn t-shirts into dresses! 🙂
I will make lots of headbands for all the girls at the school where my granddaughter goes to
Pillowcase edging is my first thought. But that headband is super cute!
Any and everything I can make.
I would use these for baby ruffle socks and headbands!
I could have used one of these the other day when I was hand sewing a lining into a crochet bag that I made. I much simpler it would be to simply crochet the lining in! I would use it for inserting linings into bags and adding edgings to lots of other fabric things 😀
I think I would put more edgings on if I didn’t have to poke holes first, this would be great!
I have wanted one of these fire a long time to attach zippers to crocheted bags. I’m hoping I win, but if not it’s going on my Christmas list!
Love the idea!
Oh man! I would use this for all kinds of things! Especially zippers. And headbands. And… everything! OOH! Maybe I could put flowers on my canvas shoes! Pick me, PICK ME! 😀
I would make some edgings on my pillowcases, something I’ve always wanted to do!
I can think of lots of great ideas that I could use this for, thanks for the tutorial 🙂
I want one of these!! So much you can do with it.
I have some cool ideas for embellishing tshirts– I could so use this hook 🙂
I would use it to add little details to so many things! Headbands, pillowcase edging, fleece blanket edging, adding flowers to felted bags or baby shoes…and it would be fantastic for adding zippers to crocheted items!
See edging on tanks
I think the first thing I would try with these would be to add some pretty scalloped edging to some plain pillow cases to turn them into lovely shams to display on my bed, or some trimming on some linen towels or tea cloths. The possibilities are endless.
Would love to try this. It gets so tedious poking holes!
I would use it to make crochet borders on pillowcases.
I have been wanting to get receiving blankets and put a little edging on them. I think they look really cute with this embellishment~
Towel toppers and pillow case edgings.
I have been wanting one since I first heard of Sharp Crochet Hook! I would love to embellish little girls’clothes. Maybe try a blanket or two 🙂

Border on fleecy loveys for my little one.
I would add pretty edgings to the dresses I’ve made for my daughters.
I would crochet embellishments on my granddaughter’s dresses, and/or tshirts, and would love to do something on tshirts for my grandson
I like putting borders on towels and pillows! The Sharp crochet hook would make that so much easier!

I love the idea of the headband, and would love to give the Sharp crochet hook a go 🙂
I’d make a lovey for my son due in a couple weeks. 🙂 I’ve seen cute patterns but don’t want to poke all those holes! Lol
I would definitely make some adorable and cute headbands.
I have been wanting to try a sharp hook for sometime now. I like the idea of adding pretty edgings to pillow case covers. How romantic and girlie! I think it would make a beautiful wedding gift.
I would have to try these headbands – they are adorable!
I’d love to make towels for the kitchen.
