Tunisian Hairband Model

Tunisian crochet is a great technique for making hairbands because it creates a thick and sturdy fabric. Here's a simple pattern for a Tunisian crochet hairband:

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in the color of your choice
• Tunisian crochet hook size J (6 mm)

Instructions:

Foundation Row:

1. Chain 10.
2. Insert hook in 2nd chain from hook, yarn over and pull up a loop. Repeat this across the chain until you have 10 loops on your hook.

Forward Pass: 3. Yarn over and pull through one loop on your hook. *Yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook. Repeat from * across the row until only one loop remains on your hook.

Return Pass: 4. Chain 1, *yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook. Repeat from * across the row until only one loop remains on your hook.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for a total of 20 rows.

6. Bind off: chain 1, *yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook, then pull the loop through the loop on your hook. Repeat from * until only one loop remains on your hook.

7. Fold the hairband in half with the wrong side facing out and use a yarn needle to sew the two ends together.

8. Turn the hairband right side out and weave in any loose ends.

This pattern creates a basic hairband that you can customize with different colors and embellishments. You can also adjust the size by adding or subtracting stitches from the foundation row. Happy crocheting!
