Introduction Creating your own whimsy head wrap is a fun and easy project that will add a touch of bohemian style to your spring and summer wardrobe. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step through the process of making a light and delicate head wrap using sport weight yarn. So grab your supplies and let's get started!

Supplies Needed Before we begin, make sure you have the following supplies:

• Number two sport weight yarn
• 4.5mm crochet hook
• Slip knot

Starting the Tie We will start by creating the ties for the head wrap. Begin with a chain of four and then double crochet in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. This will give you three double crochets. Repeat this pattern for 30 rows to create the first tie.

Creating the Head Wrap 4.1 Widening the Head Wrap After completing the 30 rows for the first tie, it's time to widen the head wrap. Chain two at the end of row 30 and then double crochet twice in the first stitch. Continue double crocheting in each stitch across, increasing in the first and last stitch of each row. Repeat this pattern for six more rows until you have 17 double crochets across.

4.2 Creating the Body of the Head Wrap To begin the body of the head wrap, chain four and skip the first stitch. Triple crochet into the next stitch, chain one, and skip one stitch. Repeat this pattern across until you have nine treble crochets in that row.

4.3 Increasing and Repeating Rows Continue with the pattern of increasing in the first and last stitch of each row and repeating rows until you have a total of 58 rows.

4.4 Finishing the Body of the Head Wrap After completing row 58, do a row of treble crochet for row 59. Then, begin decreasing for the other side of the wrap. Double crochet in the first stitch, double crochet in the chain space, double crochet in the top of the treble crochet, and double crochet in the chain space. Repeat this pattern across until you have 17 double crochets.

Completing the Other Side of the Wrap Chain two and double crochet two together in the first two stitches. Double crochet in the middle stitches and double crochet two together in the last two stitches. Repeat this pattern, decreasing in the first and last two stitches of each row until you have three double crochets remaining.

Decreasing for the Wrap Continue decreasing in the first two stitches and the last two stitches of each row until you reach row 66 with three double crochets remaining.

Making the Long Tail Part For rows 67 to 95, you will be creating the long tail part of the head wrap. Simply make three double crochet stitches and turn. Repeat this pattern for 96 total rows.

Finishing Up Once you have completed row 96, tie off and weave in all the ends. Your whimsy head wrap is now complete and ready to be styled for spring!

Conclusion Congratulations on creating your very own whimsy head wrap! This light and delicate accessory will add a touch of bohemian charm to any outfit. Enjoy wearing it throughout the spring and summer seasons. Remember, you can always customize this pattern with different yarn colors and embellishments to make it uniquely yours. Happy crocheting!
