Mohair Square Mesh Headband by Knackday

What is Being Made

The Mohair Square Mesh Headband is a romantic, lightweight crocheted accessory designed as an easy beginner-friendly project. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished headband measuring 100 cm (39.3 inches) in length and 6 cm (2.3 inches) in width. The designer notes that by adjusting the length and width during construction, crafters can transform this headband into a fluffy scarf, making it a versatile pattern with multiple styling options.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The construction relies on basic chain and double crochet stitches worked in a square mesh pattern. The designer provides flexibility in customization, allowing crafters to increase or decrease rounds according to their desired finished dimensions. The pattern's structure enables creative modifications, such as adjusting width and length to achieve different garment styles from a single pattern base.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – foundational stitch for creating the base of the pattern
• Double Crochet (dc) – primary stitch used throughout the square mesh construction
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – used for joining and finishing

Materials and Tools

The recommended yarn is Mayflower.dk Super Kid Silk, a lace-weight blend composed of 76% mohair and 24% silk. The pattern calls for 25 grams of yarn, which provides approximately 195 meters (214 yards) of fiber. A US size 7 crochet hook is specified for this project. The gauge is 22 stitches by 27 rows over a 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inch) swatch when worked in the pattern stitch. Basic notions required include scissors for finishing.
