This crochet big bowed headband is super cute for girls all ages, I call it the little miss cheerleader headband since it reminds me of the big bows cheerleaders put in their hair, they are fast to make so why not make one in your teams colors. Or maybe one for each member of your cheerleading squad!

Pattern info
You can check out my collected pattern info below if you need more guidance when working with one of my patterns.
Pattern info specifically to this pattern
This pattern is made in 2 sections, one section is for the bow headband made with #5 bulky yarn and 6mm hook. The second part of the pattern is made so that you can choose to work with any yarn and hook size you want.
There is no stitch count given for each round since the pattern is written in a way that makes it easy to customize in any size you want.
All the measurements given are approx. measurements since not all kids the same age has the same head circumference.
Crochet usually stretches so the first few times the headband is worn it should fit a little tighter, have that in mind when choosing size.
If you need any clarification on the terms I use you can see them below.
There will be a video tutorial in the end of this post.

1 ball of yarn approx. 100g for adult size and less for smaller sizes. #5 bulky weight yarn for section 1 of the pattern and any yarn you like for section 2.

Making the bow:
Fold the headband in half with wrong side together, from the folded end measure and sew across the headband.

When you have sewn the headband together creating the hole for the head fold the headband. Fold each end of the bow to each side.
Take a piece of yarn and pull through the opening of the headband, this will be the yarn that secures the bow before you wrap it in yarn.
Now fold the right side across in a downwards angle. Then fold the left side in an upwards angle.
Make sure your piece of yarn is in the center and pull, align your bow before you pull it too tight and make sure it has the look you want. Make a secure knot and cut the yarn. Take a longer strand of yarn and wrap it around the middle until you are satisfied with the look, secure the yarn and weave in any ends.
