Crochet Kit - Alpine Headband
Crochet Kit - Alpine Headband
Skill Level - Beginner
This headband crochet kit has been created for us by Vibeke at Diving Ducks. With over 70,000 subscribers, Diving Ducks Crochet has a strong following and proven pattern design.
The headband is supported, as all Diving Ducks Crochet videos are, by a How To Video as well as the printed pattern you receive with your kit.
The headband uses lightweight DK alpaca yarn spun from the fleece of alpacas from UK farms. We love this wide headband, partly because it looks so great, and also because it crochets up so qiuckly.
Size: Child / Adult - adapt to fit
Kit includes:
- Cotton alpaca project bag
- Standard 50g (112m) of Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
- Optional - 4.5mm hook and a tapestry needle to sew in the ends
- Pattern
As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to crochet with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness.
The headband can be washed by hand or in a machine on a wool wash at 20 degrees.

Excellent service. I was unsure the colour I had chosen matched the one in their photo. I used the text messaging service and had prompt and helpful replies. I have used Gorgeous Alpacas before the will is as they say gorgeous and their service excellent. I would recommend to my friends and family.
I love the softness of the wool and the sandstone colour. I am new to crochet and this is the third project I have done. I found the video extremely helpful as it clearly explained how to do the different stitches. I love the little kit bag provided which makes the project very portable. I had a problem with the paper pattern, but that was quickly resolved by Emma. She emailed me back within a couple of hours and then sent a lovely little gift as an apology! I would highly recommend Gorgeous Alpaca to fellow crafters, especially if they are just starting out on their crochet journey!
Delighted with my purchase, very soft next to the skin and non of the itching that can come with some wools
This yarn is just wonderful, so soft and cosy. The pattern is straight forward and well written. The customer service is amazing, an email was all that was needed to divert my order to Kent, rather than New Zealand which I had entered in error. Altogether a very satisfactory experience which I shall happily repeat.
Lovely yarn its,so naturel
