It’s so easy to get caught up in making projects for the little ones we love. But oftentimes we forget to do something nice for ourselves too.
And that’s why we created this free crochet pattern, the cozy fall headband crochet project! There’s no reason for you to miss out on the fun with these simple and stylish accessories. (It is sized for both toddlers and adults if you decide to make some for someone other than yourself.)
The Cozy Fall Headband requires no special stitch, and is worked using single and double crochet stitches. And it’s crocheted as one long piece that can be tied and untied each time you wear it. That way it’s sure to fit you and your little one.
The knot at the top is a cute way to style this headband, but if you want a simple headband look you can twist it so that the knot is behind your hair.
It’s made out of 100% wool, machine washable yarn. And because of its soft texture, you get a beautiful warm accessory without any irritation. You could even make it a little wider to turn this into a crochet ear warmer pattern instead. And if you want to make one for a bigger kid just measure their head circumference and add a few inches to make it long enough to tie.
Take a look at this simple and creative pattern today. It’s a perfect last-minute gift idea, or make some for yourself to go with all your outfits. It’s also a perfect to make for someone who’s just starting out with crochet.

What does it mean “leave a long end for tying”? Tying what? There seem to be finishing instructions missing
After doing the slip knot to toe off the long tail is used to weave back neatly through the stitches to have a neatly finished product.
I am wondering what the “long tail for tying” means. Are you able to provide an explanation please? Thank you
