Headband of Leaves Crochet Pattern

I hope you’re feeling some cool weather in your neck of the woods. Today’s crochet freebie incorporates leaves and a headband.

This pattern could be crocheted as a gift or use the crocheted leaves all by themselves for fall decoration around your home. Either way, it’s a quick, easy and fun vintage crochet pattern.

Clip-on Hat

The pattern booklet calls this a Clip-on Hat, but to me it’s really a decorated headband. I believe the plastic head clip they refer to in the directions, is a plastic head band you’d find in the hair accessories aisle in any department or drug store.

The suggested color for the leaves, of course, is green, but you could use any color of the Coats & Clark Knit Cro Sheen crochet cotton.

Beads and sequins embellish the leaves, but there’s no limit to the different embellishments you could use to enhance the crocheted leaves.

The full crochet pattern instructions are below, but I’ve also included them as a PDF file to download at the end of this post.
