Easily hold your hair back from your face as you get a facial, apply your makeup or remove your makeup. This crochet spa headband is a free crochet pattern that will quickly become a favorite quick crochet gift.

Make one in every color of cotton from your stash of yarn. Give them away as unique handmade bridal shower gifts, a special handmade baby shower gift for mom, a crochet gift for Mother’s Day or as a special just because gift for a friend. Become a favorite friend, aunt, daughter, or mother with this crochet spa headband!

Like me, many people love to play with makeup and I can tell you that having my hair out of my face as I apply my make up and remove my make up is a must! So I made a fun diy headband for washing the face and putting on makeup.

The cute facial headband sample was made in one color but you could easily make it in 2 or more colors.

This entire crochet spa headband took me a little more than 1 hour to make so it is a quick crochet gift. Partner it up with some cute face cloths that double as dishcloths and a nice bar of soap to make it a GREAT gift or the perfect little something to sell at a craft fair.

Please watch the video tutorial for the Bumpy Road Headband crochet spa headband if you have never done a crochet i-cord.

Now you can choose to do the pinch method or the knitting needle method.  Both give the same results, but feel VERY different! 👇

KNITTING NEEDLE METHOD

Knitting Needle Method Row 2: Transfer all the loops to the knitting needle, place a removable stitch marker in first loop (we will come back to this later), transfer 1 loop back to your hook, ch 1, transfer next loop to your hook, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook, transfer last loop onto your hook, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook — 3 loops on hook.

Knitting Needle Method Row 3: Transfer 2 loops onto the knitting needle, with last loop on hook, ch 1, transfer 1 loop back onto the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop onto the hook, transfer last loop back onto the hook, yarn over and pull up a loop onto the hook — 3 loops on hook.

Repeat Row 3 until i-cord measures 11″ [27.94cm] or until the headband just about fits around the head slightly pulled; adjust as necessary.

Place last row of loops onto a stitch marker to hold while finishing.

Continue to finishing.

PINCH METHOD

Pinch Method Row 2: Remove hook (yes, it is super odd feeling, but go with it! The loops will flop all over the place), place stitch marker in first loop and set aside (we will come back to this later), insert hook into second loop, yarn over (it is more like scooping then a true yarn over) and pull up loop onto hook, insert hook into next loop, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook, insert hook into last loop, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook — 3 loops on hook. 

Pinch Method Row 3: Pinch bottom of loops, remove hook (yes, we do this again), insert hook into first loop, yarn over (it is more like scooping then a true yarn over) and pull up loop onto hook, insert hook into next loop, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook, insert hook into last loop, yarn over and pull up loop onto hook — 3 loops on hook. 

Repeat Row 3 until i-cord measures 11″ [27.94cm] or until the headband just about fits around the head slightly pulled; adjust as necessary.

Place last row of loops onto stitch marker to hold while finishing.

Continue to finishing.

FINISHING

Place loop with stitch marker through it (the one we put on hold) onto hook. Looking at the back side of the i-cord where it appears to have long strands (from the last stitch of the i-cord to the first stitch) or ladders, insert hook under first long strand and draw through loop on hook, *hook next long strand (there is a long and short for each row, grab the long one), pull through loop on hook; repeat from * to the end of the i-cord. Place last loop on same stitch holder as last row of loops — 4 loops on holder.

Place the 4 loops on hook with working yarn at hook edge, do not turn.

Row 1 (RS): Ch 1, *yarn over hook, draw through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * twice more. Ch 1, do not turn — 1 loop on hook.

Row 2 (RS): 2 sc in first bump (see image below), sc in next bump, 2 sc in last bump — 5 sc.

Fasten off leaving a 10″ [25.4cm] tail.

Thead the tail onto a tapestry needle and with the RS of the body and headband facing towards you, meet the side edge of the body not yet worked into to the final row of the headband. Seam together (see image below).
