OMG, I'm a newbie and I followed your very clear instructions and I did it, I made the headband!! Thanks, definitely subscribing ❤

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@carolbattle8010]

Thank you for sharing. The stitch was a little hard to make as my hook would catch on the last two stitches, so I make one with just half double crochet and it turned out lovely.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

That is a great alternative. This stitch can be a bit tricky.

Ok I’m making for a newborn girl . Today I did another style it had 50 chains - I chose 67 chains however I decreased my hook size to a 3.5 . And yes I had never done a YOSLS before after watching it 3 times and screaming at my iPad I got it as well !

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It does take some getting used to. It isn't the easiest stitch but it looks amazing.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You are very welcome!!

[@destinybyrda280]

I love this pattern, thank you!! I was wondering if you have instructions on how to size up to an adult?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes. You can add as many chains as you need to the pattern just know that you are adding those chains to the side of the headband that does not have the hole in it. So once you create the hole for the other end to go through, you should not have increased on the bow side of that hole. I hope that makes sense.

[@KelsieMarx]

This is really adorable! My niece is having a baby and we are not too sure what baby is yet, so I am preparing. Thanks so much for sharing, and I can't wait to start making some!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@AbigailVegaa]

I chained 67 for a 4 month old and it was a bit too tight/small

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Did you check your gauge? Everyone crochets differently, some crochet tight and some crochet very loose. Make sure to adjust your hook size to meet the required gauge for the pattern.

[@lola_nenek]

Wow, I like your video, very clear to follow. Thanks ☺️

Thank you!

[@celinebeese8447]

I am a beginner. You explain everything so well! However I used same crochet hook and medium 4 yarn but I don’t understand how to gauge size? Can you help me? The headband I made turned out beautifully, but too small. Did size for small baby. TIA

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Gauge is simply measuring the number of stitches per inch. If I have 4 stitches per inch and you have 5 stitches per inch then the sizes will be different. The most stitches per inch the smaller the item will be. If yours came out too small then I would go up a hook size.

[@ZodieBlonde]

I’m a beginner and I can’t seem to get the hang of the YOSLST. I can’t get my hook through this SL through the other 2 loops no matter how loosely I make my stitches. Any suggestions?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

The best thing to say is to yarn over really loosely but it is it giving you too much trouble you can replace it with a half double crochet. It will look a little bit different but you would be able to finish the pattern.

[@pritipinky4070]

So beautiful,must try

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You should!

[@chiomaonyekwelu2631]

Nice tutorial. Thanks for everything

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

My pleasure!

[@marianaveda5021]

I loved the simplicity of the headband for little girls. Do you have a pattern for older or women?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I only have it up to toddlers, but if you don't mind the size of the bow, you can add as many chains as you need then just follow the video or written pattern and it should still come out. I wrote it that way so I didn't have to add any confusing sizing instructions. You will see the pattern says Yarn Over Slip Stitch "across". That allows for the different starting chain amounts.

[@marianaveda5021]

@@WindingRoadCrochet Thank you so much for responding to my inquiry. I appreciate your time.

[@wilcommaster]

very nice work💗

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@gailbarnes3753]

Love the headband, could you give me the measurements for a 0/3 month please.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

12 inches circumference for 0/3 months. It is pretty small. That is with a gauge of 4 sts per inch.

[@MrKarlimoney]

Upon finishing everything before assembling the bow, would you recommend I block it before I assemble the bow just to make it sit better and more evenly? This is only me second project I've done so far and it's looking great but I don't know when to block and when not to lol

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

If you find that the bow is curling you could block it. If you assemble it and then the bow is curling, you can still block it then to get the bow to lay flat.

[@MrKarlimoney]

​@@WindingRoadCrochetawesome thank you so much 😃

[@Soulspeaksthetruth]

Should I chain according to the head circumference of baby?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You want to make the size that matches the head circumference of the baby. This head band is worked as all one piece so when you chain, part of that chain is the bow and will not be part of the headband circumference.

[@AfomeyaZeleke-sq6tb]

Thank you for this video! One of the bow ends were to big and not curvy. Do you know the problem. Also I'm 11 rears old making this.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

The ends are meant to be flat but might pick up a curve because we are cinching down the middle.

[@AfomeyaZeleke-sq6tb]

@Winding Road Crochet. Thank you for telling me that! I just undid and restarted my work. And it seems like that's the problem.

[@mahaabaas6908]

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

[@kadyjabrealey1421]

Can I add more rows and how do i do that so the baby gets it tight

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

If you are adding more rows then you will need to add the same amount of rows before and after the row that adds the hole to make the bow, but to make the headband bigger you will need to add more chains and not rows.

[@idecipher1]

Love this but why is your band so narrow? My 13 rows came out very wide!! 5-1/2 inches with an H hook.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It is probably just or tension difference. Make sure that you are working yarn over slip stitches and not half double crochet stitches. That would add more width. They are very similar stitches but not the same.

[@idecipher1]

Yep!! That’s it… thank you so much!!

[@nunyabusiness1999]

Would it be the same if u used size 3 yarn?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Size 3 yarn is half the thickness of a size 4 yarn. It would turn out much smaller.

[@sim_cake]

So do you know what size a baby 3-6 months will be? Im making a dress so Im gonna make this headband d match! The dress is 3-6 months. I cant really measure the babies head bc its not born yet.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

The Craft yarn council puts a baby headsize at 14-16 inches. My 9 month has a 17 inch head and she was born with a 13 inch head. So maybe 14-15 inch range.

[@sim_cake]

@@WindingRoadCrochet hmm ok ill try that out! Tysm for answering my question! :)

[@kathleenhamilton6047]

How many chains for 4year old child

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

The largest size I have is to CH 97 for a toddler size and the headband should be 18 inches in circumference and fit a 18-20 inch head. My head is 22 inches as an adult so I would try that size for a 4 year old.

[@MrKarlimoney]

I have the same size yarn but I am missing a 5mm hook and only have a 4.25 mm or 5.25 mm hook so I will have to choose between the 2 lol

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes. Do you tend to crochet loose or tight? I used to crochet very tight and I would lean towards the larger hook but it just depends on your tension.

[@MrKarlimoney]

@@WindingRoadCrochet I used a 5.25mm hook it's not too tight but I did notice when I completed it was a little more stiff but it still looks good, I will definitely work on my tension and I will also block before I assemble the bow 🙂

[@ashfanazeem8249]

Why does hair band length decrease while adding more rows?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It should not decrease with adding more rows. I would count your stitches and make sure your stitch count is the same as the first row.

[@Aarmau-Aaron-Aphmau]

how can you change the color of the bow i dont want a solid color

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You would have to change colors while working the row. Since it is worked all as one piece it is easiest to make it just one color.

[@dorothyhovey3244]

I’ve chained 87 stitches for a large baby. There is no way this will fit a baby…I will finish it and show you. I think it will fit an adult. I am determined to finish, the stitch has given me a hard time. 😅

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Did you check your gauge? Also remember that part of the length will be used for the bow. This Bow headband is worked all as one piece. I want to say roughly 4-5 inches of the length will be used for the bow and not be a part of the length.

[@dorothyhovey3244]

@@WindingRoadCrochet explain the gauge part to me. Thank you

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Your gauge is the number of stitches per a certain number of inches. Everyone crochets differently. We can all use the same yarn and same size hook, but some people crochet loosely and some crochet very tight. So when people work 87 stitches the end measurement will all be different. Sometimes it will be a drastic difference and sometimes it will be a small difference. We use a gauge to help make sure the size comes out correctly. The gauge for this pattern is 8 YOSLST X 8 Rows = 2 inches. So if you measure out 8 stitches, it should equal 2 inches. If it equals more than 2 inches, then you will need to use a smaller hook. Here is a video from a friend of mine that explains gauge very well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3aQqWhsq5psjNE

[@andsewforth]

I also have a hard time with the stitch when pulling the yarn through the last two loops on the hook. The hook just doesn’t want to go through. What I do is turn my hook toward the back and pull through. Hope this is helpful!

[@user-cj4my8bh7e]

Hi I want to do the toddler size 97st how many stitches do I need to do till I make the hole for the bow thanks

[@dorothyhovey3244]

Has anyone else had this problem? What am I doing wrong?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Have you completed the pattern? Part of the length (about 4-5 inches) are used for the bow and does not contribute to the final circumference. If you have taken that into consideration already then I would check your gauge.

[@143sassystar]

I'm trying to make a headband for a toddler and it says chain 97. There is no way this wouldn't even fit me

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Make sure to check your gauge and remember that this is worked as all one piece, so some of that length is used for the bow. I would say about 4 inches of the length gets used for the bow. The gauge is 4 stitches per inch. 96 sts = 24 inches - (4-5 inches for the bow) = about 19-20 inches circumference for the headband. If that still seems big then you can go down a size to get a headband that is 17-18 inches.

[@rosemontalvo1625]

What size did you make.

[@rosemontalvo1625]

How many chains

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I believe the pink was a small baby size and the grey was a large baby size. Chain counts: 1:00

[@angaymg8535]

Hook size?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Size H 5mm crochet hook. All materials needed at at 0:30

[@mariet14]

You do your half double crochet different.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I am doing a yarn over slip stitch and not a half double crochet. This stitch can also be called the Half double slip stitch.

[@Yazooicon]

The split stitch is so hard

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

the yarn over slip stitch takes a little getting used to. It is especially difficult if you have a tight tension, but it is lovely when you get it.

[@MiphieMbala]

I chained, 66 For myself, and it was too big

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Did you check the gauge? Also did you finish the pattern or just work a few rows. You have to remember that the bow is part of that length and it will overlap and make the headband smaller.

[@MiphieMbala]

Ok ty
