25 Feb Griselda Crochet Headband
“GRISELDA CROCHET HEADBAND” – PATTERN BY HILARIA FINA
También disponible en: Español
AQUÍIt was in the 1920’s that headbands exploded onto the fashion scene with the Flappers movement. Flappers were young women known for their energetic freedom, embracing a lifestyle viewed by many at the time as outrageous, immoral or downright dangerous. Now considered the first generation of independent American women, flappers pushed barriers in economic, political and sexual freedom for women.
Zelda Fitzgerald was an American novelist, dancer and celebrity, wife of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. She became an icon in the 20’s and was called by her husband as “the first American flapper”. Zelda is an abbreviation of the name Griselda, of German origin that means strong woman.
INSPIRATION + DESIGN
This simple-to-make headband is made from a crocheted rectangle. It’s the perfect project for a beginner crocheter, or anyone that wants to make a quick and easy project.
The technique is simple, as you use slip stitch through back loop. So, even though you haven’t crocheted a lot previously, you can easily crochet this headband without problems.
For the twisted crochet headband pattern, I used Merino by Katia. This Merino Extrafine is a slim and soft fibre with a lot of properties like thermal regulation, its softness avoids irritations and stinging. Also, it contains Superwash treatment, that allows you to wash your sewing pieces in the washing machine without losing its properties. It has a wide variety of colors, it will be very difficult for you to choose just one.
This PDF includes pattern with charts to walk you through every single step of making your own Griselda Headband, is perfect if you like to crochet on the couch or on the go. This is a nicely formatted PDF perfect for your mobile or tablet viewing. Or, you can print and take it with you wherever you want, avoiding keeping busy the electronic screen of your device and leaving it free for your favourites movies, series or apps.

BACK BUMP OF A CHAIN
Usually you crochet in the right side of the chain. When you turn your chain, you’ll see a small ‘bump’ on the wrong side of each stitch. Insert your hook under this back bump.

The right and wrong sides look identical, so just chose the one you like better.
Step 01. Bring the shorter edges closer together and fold each edge in half, so they look like a “V”.
Step 02. Now insert one edge into another. Make sure that the long yarn tail is on the outside and not in between the layers.
Step 03. Thread the long tail to sew through all 4 layers back and forth.
Weave in the ends and turn the headband the right side out.
