About this crochet pattern
This ant-themed wide headband is quick to make and great for using up your stash. The band takes only 2 oz of brown worsted weight yarn, and small scraps of white yarn make the ant details. Cute eyes and accents bring the design to life, and the finished headband is soft, stretchy and comfortable.
Clear instructions and simple stitches make it a good fit for crocheters of any skill level. Keep the classic brown and white look or customize your colors. It is a fun accessory for kids, costumes, school events and craft fairs.
