Crochet this beautiful Chunky Cable Headband! This Crochet headband features cables that mimic knit cables. If you have never tried crochet cables before, don’t worry I have a step by step video tutorial you can watch, and master your first cable!
Crochet Cables are one of my favorite things to create! I love the look and style of them, and can’t wait to share more chunky cable patterns with you!
If headbands are not your style, and you prefer beanies, be sure to check out the Chunky Cable Beanie pattern!
Crochet cables can be a bit tricky to get the hang of, but don’t let that scare you away from trying them out!
