This elegant headband is deceptively simple to make, requiring only chains, single crochets, and slip stitches. Worked in worsted weight yarn, it’s thick enough to serve as an ear warmer, or tuck it behind your ears to stylishly hold back your hair.

The pictured headband was worked with leftover Yarn Bee Luxe Lollies yarn; the gradient created a lovely three-toned headband. But this can easily be made in a single color, or work the band in one color and the vertical gathering band in a second color.
