Materials needed

To create this crochet headband, you will need the following materials:

1. 5mm crochet hook
2. Scrap yarn (any type will do, but for this tutorial, we will be using Caron Simply Soft)

Step-by-step instructions

1. Start by making a chain of 15. If you need assistance with this step, please refer to the video tutorial.
2. Once your chain of 15 is complete, slip stitch to join into the very first stitch.
3. Chain 1 (this chain does not count as a stitch).
4. Place 25 single crochets into the ring formed by the chain. Take your time and make sure each stitch is placed neatly. If you find it helpful, you can use stitch markers to keep track of your stitches.
5. After completing the 25 single crochets, slip stitch to join to the very first single crochet.
6. Chain 1 (this chain does not count as a stitch).
7. Place one single crochet in each stitch around the circle. This will create the band of the headband. Take your time to ensure all stitches are placed evenly and neatly.
8. Slip stitch to join at the end and fasten off your work.
