What I loved about these headbands in particular were the horizontal rows vs. the vertical rows.  Working with horizontal rows can be more challenging off the get-go as you need to start with theappropriate length (you don’t want your headband to be too big or too small!).  When working with vertical rows, you keep crocheting row upon row until you get your desired length.  Both have differentlooks, but I decided to go with the horizontal rows to make my Topshop and ASOS-inspired knotted headband!
I started off by crocheting a series of 70 chain stitches.  To tell you the truth, I actuallystarted off crocheting too many chain stitches and my headband turned out too long!  I had to undo my work as I wanted my headband to stretch a bit, and not be too oversized!

I used doublecrochets for more height, and it appeared that the Topshop headband also consisted of double crochets.

Once I finished six rows of double crochets, I was done the headband portion!  This is a very quickproject :)

Next I folded the crocheted piece in half and sewed the ends together…

I wanted my headband to be very ruched (pinched edges) around the knot just like the Topshop earwarmer, so Ipinched the middle rows of my headband together (approximately Rows 2-5) and then sewed them together.  I pinched the middle rows where the edges of the headband were sewn together as I wanted this seamto be concealed later on.

This is what my crocheted headband looked like from the front with the ruching.

Next up, I created the narrow strip that serves as the knot!  Once again, I worked withhorizontal rows to make it consistent with the rest of the headband.

Once I was finished making the strip, I wrapped it around the ruched part where the ends came together.

I sewed the edges ofthe knot together and hid the loose ends within the knot.  You can’t see any more seams with this clean finish!

Here is my finished knotted headband!  I actually used the same taupe yarn that I...
