The Pine Trees Crochet Headband is a quick, stash busting crochet pattern! Literally, the smaller sizes might take you 35 minutes! I made one while cooking breakfast. ?

I love designing garments, and using techniques to minimize seaming. Sometimes those techniques and stitches may be new to some crocheters, so I enjoy designing a smaller project as an introduction to a technique. The Pine Trees Crochet Headband is an introduction project using the Modified Pine Tree Stitch with worsted weight yarn. If you’re feeling adventurous and love making garments, check out the Lacy Transformation Top.?

The Pine Trees Crochet Headband project offers two options, in the round and flat. There are three sizes available for in the round, and the flat version fits all sizes. If you decide to make one for a baby, you may want to skip row 5 to shorten the width for a cute baby head.

The stitch chart was created by my friend handmadebyroeska. She’s not only a super talented crocheter, she’s awesome at creating stitch charts.
