    Free Crochet Pattern | "Stacked Hearts" Headband & Treat Holder

    Feb 8, 2016 by Jennifer Renaud

    This Valentine's I had been trying to come up with a quick little gift that I could make for the girls in Claire's class that they could use over and over again. I also wanted to be able to have it hold a small treat (kids + candy = BFFs). This is how the "Stacked Hearts" Headband & Treat Holder came about!  (don't fret, I didn't forget about the boys...free crochet pattern coming soon!)

    This is a super quick little project that requires minimal amounts of both yarn and time!

    Ties (Make 2): Using your hook and whichever color yarn you prefer, ch the length of the circumference of the child's head plus an additional 6-8" (leaving enough free to tie). Claire's head is 20" so I chained ties that were 28" long.

    Attaching the Ties to the Heart: Fold your ties in half to find the center then position the heart 2-3" from the center with the tip of the heart pointing towards the short ends of the ties. Using a yarn needle and scrap of yarn, sew the ties onto the back of the heart as shown above. I laid my ties so that the back hump of the chain was facing up. Sew through at least 6 chs of each tie (*See photos above).

    Adding the Treat! (*See photos above)

    Using your crochet hook, pull up a loop of two (of the 4) tie ends. Pull up a loop only, do not pull the ends all the way through to the front. 

    Insert the sucker stick, from back to front, through a stitch from Round 1. Insert the sucker stick thru the loops of the ties and then finally, insert them through another st from Round 1 that is opposite the one you came up through.

    Pull the loose ends of the ties to tighten the loops and secure the sucker stick. Flip the headband over to the back and tie the ends in a bow.

    Voila! Now you have a super cute little Valentine's Headband & Treat Holder for your favorite little Valentine. 🙂
