How to Crochet a Beautiful Hair Holder
Crochet is a versatile and fun craft that allows you to create a wide range of items. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a beautiful hair holder with multiple hook pockets. This hair holder is specially designed to hold 12 crochet hooks and is a convenient accessory to keep your hooks organized and easily accessible. The holder can be folded multiple times and secured with a strap, making it not only practical but also visually appealing.
Materials Needed
Before we get started, let's gather all the materials that we will need for this project.
- Polyester yarns in your desired colors
- A 2.20 millimeter crochet hook
- A button
- Stitch marker
- Tapestry needle
- Pair of scissors
Creating the Chain
To begin, we will create a chain as the base for our hair holder. Make a slip knot with the yarn and hold it on the crochet hook. Start by making 40 chains. After you have made the 40 chains, you will have the foundation for your holder.
Making Single Crochet Stitches
Once you have created the chain, it's time to make single crochet stitches. Make one turning chain and then make one single crochet in each of the stitches. Continue making single crochet stitches until you reach the end. Make sure to evenly distribute the stitches.
Creating the Hook Pockets
To create the hook pockets, we will be making double crochet stitches. Start by making 15 double crochet stitches in the first row. Place a stitch marker on top of the 15th double crochet to mark the pocket.
Next, fill up one of the remaining stitches with a double crochet stitch, but make sure to only crochet in the back loop. Continue making one double crochet in each of the back loops until the end of the row. This will create the hook pockets.
Making Double Crochet Stitches
After creating the hook pockets, we will continue making double crochet stitches. Make a turning chain and then make one double crochet in each of the stitches until you reach the stitch marker. Be sure to remove the stitch marker once you reach it.
Adding the Strap
To secure the hair holder, we will be adding a strap. Make a chain of 64 stitches, starting from the stitch marker position. Once you have made the chain, slip stitch into the first stitch to create a loop. This will form the strap.
Next, make a single crochet in each stitch of the strap. Continue making single crochets until you reach the end of the strap. Once you reach the end, slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the strap.
Creating the Border
To add a finishing touch to our hair holder, we will create a border using single crochet stitches. Start by making two single crochets in the double crochet space. Then, make one single crochet in each of the single crochet spaces. Repeat this pattern for the entire border.
Finishing Touches
Once you have completed the border, your hair holder is almost finished. Insert your crochet hooks into the hook pockets and fold the holder together. Secure it with the strap by looping it through the button. Adjust the strap to your desired length and fasten it.
