Sizing and Yarn & Hook Size

The width of this hairband will depend on the yarn and hook size you choose. A thicker yarn and hook size will result in a thicker and wider hairband. In contrast, using a thinner yarn and hook will make it thinner and less wide.

The length, however, can be adjusted by the number of rows you do. For a smaller head, you can do fewer rows. For a bigger head, you can do more rows.

The two hairbands in the image below were made with the same hook size (5.5mm) and exact same pattern. The only difference was the yarn. The wider hairband in the image below was made with a #4 weight yarn, the same as the one made in the written pattern. The thinner hairband was made with a #3 weight yarn.

Foundation: Make a slipknot, ch40+3

Tip: Tighten your 40th chain to minimize the hole from Row 1.

Note: Do fewer chains in your foundation for a shorter strap or do more chains for a longer strap. This will be the length from your ear to the nape of your neck, plus the length needed to tie a knot.
