About The Jasmine Stitch Headband

The Jasmine Stitch Crochet Headband is suitable for any adult who wants something striking and very warm at the same time. As an added bonus, the puffs in this stitch pattern also make it especially soft-just like the Jasmine Stitch Crochet Beanie.

Sizing 

While hat sizing can be a bit of a challenge, this earwarmer fits most. Since it is, in fact, an earwarmer and not a f ull hat, the width does not need to be exact to sit right where you want it to. It is simply made wide enough to warmly cover the ears. 

The Jasmine Stitch is also by nature very stretchy. While the pattern download for this project includes a note about where you can increase/adjust your size, it should fit most ladies’ heads as written. 


Materials Needed

To make this headband for yourself, you’ll need: 

Skill Level

This project is for advanced-beginners and beyond.

The Jasmine Stitch is the only stitch used in this pattern. While that keeps things simple, it may mean that you’ll need to spend some time getting comfortable with this stitch if you’ve never crocheted with it before. 

Basically, the Jasmine Stitch is a series of puff stitches worked in a specific order. One particular combination of these puff stitches is what gets repeated over and over and creates the “flower” pattern in the final product. If needed, you can see a full puff stitch tutorial here, and then try the Jasmine Stitch for yourself with this related tutorial (there are videos for both of these). 

Abbreviation Used

  • ss-slip stitch 
  • ch-chain 
  • yo-yarn over 
  • rep-repeat

Gauge and Directions

4 puffs wide and 3 rows of Jasmine Stitch makes a 4×4″ square Directions:

Start your work by chaining two stitches. Then, each puff is worked as follows:

Pull the loop of yarn on your hook out about 1” *yo, insert your hook into the first chain that you made(second ch from hook) and draw a loop through to the same length as your first loop.* Rep 2x more. At this point you should have seven loops on your hook.

Transitioning from one puff to the next can take a few tries. First, you need to start by yarning over one more time. Use a finger to keep this yarn over separate from the others (if right handed, this will most likely be the index finger of your left hand. )

Keeping that yarn separate, use your hook to draw the rest of that yarn through all of your other loops.Now, insert your hook under the yarn that you are holding with your finger. At this point you can move your finger because the hook should have the yarn by itself securely. This now means you have two loops on your hook: one from going under all those other loops, and the other from where your finger was holding.

Yarn over and bring a loop/stitch from behind.Yarn over again and bring it through the two loops on your hook. Finally, yarn over one more time and ch 1.

Working the Jasmine Stitch involves working three puffs together, but everything else remains the same. The pictures below show where to place your three puffs at the beginning of a row, which is how each row continues.

Make 14 puffs in the same size (so that your work looks consistent), or simply as many puffs as you need to reach 17” inches or wrap around your head comfortably. My headband easily stretches to 21 inches . After that point, make one more puff(15 total or whatever you need).

Working the jasmine stitch with 3 puffs at a time, do 3 rows of the jasmine stitch. At the beginning of each row you start with a single puff that serves the same purpose as a turning chain.

Seaming up the Headband

 With your rows of Jasmine Stitch done, seaming up the headband is pretty simple.

Folding the headband in half end to end, ss the two corners together where you already are with your hook. Then, pull a loop out about “1 in between each join and ss at the other three puff join spaces, making sure to connect the two final corners securely.

Bind off, weave in ends, and enjoy your finished project!
