Every pattern here lists the hook, the yarn weight, the gauge, the finished measurements and the yardage that was actually used — weighed, not guessed. You can tell before you start whether it will fit and whether you have enough yarn.

This headband works up in about 90 minutes using 62–78 yards of worsted weight yarn and a 5.0 mm (US H-8) hook, depending on size. It is worked flat as a long strip in half double crochet, then twisted once at the centre and seamed into a ring, so the only shaping is in the seam. Sized by head circumference: 20 inches (child), 21.5 inches (adult small/medium) and 23 inches (adult large).
