Create this beautiful crochet ribbon headband!
I love this design because there are endless possibilities with ribbon and color choices! This is a easy and fun pattern to make with any theme in mind.
The pattern uses double crochet stitches and a series of skipped stitches to create a hole pattern for lacing up the ribbon. Such a fun design, I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I did creating it!
The finished headband measures approx. 5″ tall and 9.5″ wide.

Adding Ribbon
Cut your 7/8″ ribbon 31″ long. Stick each end through the top two holes (in row 5) so either end of the ribbon comes out the holes from the back to the front. Make sure your ribbon is even before lacing it.
With the print side facing out, put both ends into the next hole (the single hole). Cross the ribbon in the back and pull it through either side of the next holes with the print side out.
After the last hole pull the ribbon up on either side through the dc’s (leaving 4 dc’s between ribbon). Tie the ribbon in a bow and trim ends at a slant with the point facing out.
Pin it for later!
Hi there, I’m in UK . What does BLO mean please and I guess if you are in USA, then your single crochet is double in UK and double is triple in UK . Is that correct please? Lovely pattern by the way, can’t wait to try it. Oh and worsted, I think, is double knitting yarn in UK? I’ve got a list from internet for the differences we have n crochet but can’t find the BLO.
Cheers again and looking forward to more patterns, they are fabulous.

Hi, BLO means back loop only. Instead of working through both stitches in a typical pattern, you are just working in the back loop only to create some texture. I believe you are correct about the US and UK stitches. The yarn weight is 4. I’m not sure what that is referred to in the UK. I hope this helps, thank you!
