Rainbeau
Back-loop single crochet creates a ribby headband of rectangular blocks in colors of the rainbow. This quick-and-easy project uses 6 colors of worsted-weight yarn, and only a few yards of each color.
YARN
Sample headband is crocheted in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Worsted in six colors – Red, Orange, Golden Heather, Marina, Celestial and Columbine.
Worsted/Aran Weight (#4 Medium)
• Approx. 4 yd./4 m of each of 5 colors
• Approx. 6 yd./5.5 m of 1 color (final color in sequence)
DETAILS: RAINBEAU HEADBAND
- Fit is adjustable. The headband has two repeats of a six-color sequence. If additional length is needed, more rows are worked in the final color.
- Yarn is worked at a firm gauge for minimal show-through of the contrast colors.
- Method of weaving in yarn ends creates a neat edge.
- Headband is seamed with single crochet.
The pattern also includes bonus instructions -- “Rainbeau: Any Yarn, Any Width, Any Size” -- to make headbands for anyone from babies to adults with big noggins and skinny headbands to wide, cozy earwarmers.
