This cute baby and children’s headband crochet pattern is named after the stitch I used, the lemon peel stitch. I originally designed the headband for my daughters baby doll (pattern here). However, I loved it so much I decided to make it in more sizes!
You can now make this headband from preemie baby, right up to age 6 children. All 8 sizes are available below for free!
Lemon rose headband description
The Lemon rose headband has a beautiful yet simple texture made using the lemon peel stitch. Its topped with a pretty rose.
The crochet pattern has 8 sizes including preemie, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years and 3-6 years.
How to crochet a baby headband
The Lemon rose headband crochet pattern is easy skill level and would also be suitable for confident beginners. You will need to know all your basic crochet stitches to complete the pattern.
There is minimal sewing involved to make the flower and attach it to your headband. To make the headband I used DK (weight 3) yarn. I also used a 4mm crochet hook but you may need to adjust your hook after completing your gauge swatch.
Completing your gauge swatch is highly recommended before starting your project to ensure the sizing is correct. The headbands use up to 35 yards of yarn.

Pattern notes
- Chains and slip stitches are not included in the stitch counts.
- Stitches separated with a comma are to be made in separate spaces. For example, “hdc, 2hdc” would mean “hdc in first space, 2 hdc in next space”.
- Babies and children must be supervised at all times while wearing headbands. Headbands are not toys. Please remove headbands when babies/children are sleeping or when they are unsupervised. Hairbands are entirely for use at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any accidents arising from their use.
