Before you get started, gather up all the little goodies you’ll need! This project is gorgeously simple—no fancy supplies required. Here’s your checklist:

• Worsted or chunky weight yarn (multiple colors for a true boho vibe!)

• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Scissors
• Optional: Measuring tape for perfect fit

Hand Trendy Pro Tips

Here are my favorite secrets for a flawless look: After crocheting each strip, block them lightly before braiding—this flattens any curling and makes braiding SO much easier! Don’t be afraid to play with texture: mix chunky and regular yarns for a super-unique look. When weaving the braid, keep it gently loose instead of tight for softness and stretch. For a truly festival style crochet headband pattern, add a few little beads or charms to the ends! If gifting, print my printable crochet headband guide and wrap it up for the cutest DIY set ever.
