Rapid Ridge Headband

December is here, and with it comes chilly mornings, snowy days, and the perfect excuse to make all the soft, textured accessories your hooks can handle. If you’re looking for a quick, modern project to stitch up during the holiday season, the Rapid Ridge Headband is just the thing, it is fast, stretchy, and customizable for everyone on your gift list. This pattern joins the Quick Stitch Collection as another fast, modern, texture-forward piece you can make in a day or less. 

The Rapid Ridge Headband features a clean, modern ribbed texture that looks knitted while using only simple crochet stitches. It’s the kind of project you can work on during a holiday movie, a quiet evening by the tree, or while warming up with a cup of cocoa. With plenty of stretch and a seamless finish, it’s a comfortable fit for all ages and styles.

Here we go a skein fresh of the hook:

This headband is worked flat using basic stitches to create a flexible ribbed fabric. Making this the perfect project for crocheters of all skill levels.  After reaching your desired length, the ends are joined for a seamless finish. You can make it wide and warm, or keep it slim and minimal, the simple construction makes customizing effortless.

Whether you’re checking off your handmade gift list or adding a new staple to your winter wardrobe, the Rapid Ridge Headband is one of those patterns you’ll want to make again and again. Try it in neutrals, bold holiday colors, or soft pastels for year-round wear.

And stay tuned, another Quick Stitch Collection pattern is coming next week!
