When I first started this crochet blog, I made all baby items. Mostly because I had a 6 month old at the time. Also due to my limited knowledge on what to crochet. It would seem that as my skills have improved, I have left baby patterns, but I like to go back to it every now and again.

Even as I embrace working on bigger projects, I also like to step away from them when the pressure to finish is crowding my mind. So, it is usually a stress reliever when I focus on smaller projects at a time.

Just like my previous project, the Modern Style Beret – a stylish and simple accessory.

You may also like to take a look at these other quick baby headband patterns. The most popular is the 25 minute headband, the Princesa baby headband

Some of you might have concerns about using buttons on the headband. Not to worry, I have given an alternative way to close the headband.

This Simple Crochet Baby Headband is great for a couple for reasons- it is fantastic for beginner crocheters who want to make one piece of item with all the basic stitches they have mastered

This projects uses all except the Treble Crochet. I should mention that there is one extra non-basic stitch; which is just as easy. It is also great for left over yarn projects
