Free Crochet Pattern: Blythe Headband

I’ve been meaning to share this pattern for a while now! I had to sell my Blythes a while back so I kinda forgot about this pattern and all of the other things I’d made for them. It always weirded me out that some of their clothes cost just as much as mine! So I was all about making as much stuff for them as I could. Unfortunately, I lack the patience to sew tiny clothes. So everything I made for them was crocheted or knit. Anyway, here’s a really easy, pretty accessory for your Blythe dolls! I hope you like! If this is popular, I’ll probably post a few of my Blythe hat patterns too.

SUPPLIES

- Size E crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn in 2 colors
- Yarn needle

ABBREVIATIONS

CA – color A (flower)
CB – color B (headband)
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
rnd – round
st – stitch
rep – repeat
dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet
ea – each
FO – finish / fasten off

INSTRUCTIONS

This pattern is worked in rounds. Join only where the pattern says to. Gauge for the flower is unimportant. Gauge for the headband is 5 hdc = 1 inch.

HEADBAND

With CB, ch 45. sl st to join.
rnd 1: ch 2 (counts as 1st hdc). 1 hdc in ea ch.
invisible join and FO

FLOWER

With CA, ch 2.
rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook.
rnd 2: work in front loops only – [1 sc in next st. ch 3. sl st in same st as previous sc] rep 5 times
rnd 3: work in back loops from rnd 1 – [1 sc, 3 dc, 1 sc in same st] rep 5 times
invisible join and FO

With a scrap of CB and your yarn needle, make three french knots in the center of the flower. FO leaving a piece of yarn long enough to attach the flower to the head band.

ASSEMBLY

Use the piece of CB that you left and your yarn needle to attach the flower to the headband. I like to put the flower over the join in the headband so that you can’t see the join.

    I don’t know what a blythe doll is. How big are they? I make a lot of crochet and sewn things for my granddaughters barbies.

    • Julie says:

      Blythe doll bodies are the same size as a Barbie but their heads are much bigger. About the size of a baseball. So this pattern definitely won’t work for Barbie! Sorry! :(

  7. Caitlynn says:

    You should enlarge this pattern to fit a human head, that would be super cute on us too, not just the dolls. :]

  8. It is just what I was looking for. I am going to make them for my new granddaughter,
    I will just check the size measurements to see if I need to add a few more stitches.
    Thank you so much!!!! Can’t wait to get my yarn and get started.!!

    Hi there Julie, Do you think you’d own a Blythe again? They tempt the neck out of me but the cost is insane. Maybe you should make and sell Blythe. Craft on. -Kerry
