Aria Headband| Free Crochet Pattern

The Aria Headband is a simple crochet headband, easy to make, and works up fast! I used Scheepjes Stone-Washed XL for this one because I love the soft purple.

It’s called Lilac Quartz and I purchased mine from Wool Warehouse, but you can find it online in America too! They have a lot of beautiful colors to choose from too.

This pattern uses a stitch I created last year called the Fleur-de-lis stitch. It’s a simple and versatile stitch you can use for blankets, scarves, hats, and just about any project, your heart desires.
