Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (choose your favorite color)
- Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
- Additional Supplies:
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
- Hair clip (available at craft stores)
- Hot glue gun or sewing thread (for attaching the clip)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start with a Magic Ring:
To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot. This will be the foundation of your hair clip.
- Round 1:
Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have 8 stitches in total.
- Round 2:
Ch 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You will have 16 stitches at the end of this round.
- Round 3:
Ch 1, then work (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You should have 24 stitches now.
- Round 4:
Ch 1, then work a single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. This round will help to create a solid base for your hair clip.
- Finish Off:
Once you have completed Round 4, fasten off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
- Attach the Hair Clip:
Using a hot glue gun or sewing thread, securely attach the hair clip to the back of your crocheted piece. Ensure it is firmly in place so that it can hold your hair comfortably.
And there you have it! Your very own Charming Crochet Hair Clip is ready to wear. Enjoy showcasing your handmade accessory and don’t forget to share your creations with friends and family!
