I’m so excited to participate in the 2025 International Crochet Month Blog Hop hosted by Marie at Underground Crafter! There are 31 amazing designers participating to share 31 FREE crochet patterns with you to celebrate International Crochet Month! There is also a great giveaway that you can find here. Since I have such a love for making and wearing headbands, my pattern contribution is this super quick headband that can be made in 2 hours or less. It is also less than 100 yards of yarn which means you can easily use stashed yarn to make it. Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for the Hadlee Headband Earwarmer. And for 36 hours only, get a FREE PDF copy of this pattern from my Ravelry shop! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!

Finish:

• Lay your headband flat. Bring the ends together so that they meet in the middle.
• Fold each end in half lengthwise and pinch them at the ends.
• Place the two folded ends together, sandwiching them together and making sure the stitches are aligned.
• Using the yarn tail and yarn needle, stitch the ends together, making sure to work through all four pieces of the fabric.
• Fasten off, weave all ends.
• Turn the headband inside out so that the knot is on the inside.
