The yarn I used the chunky crochet diaper cover was the old Bernat Chunky which has now been discontinued. It has a, YARN GAUGE of 11sc x 12 rows with 6 mm hook. The yarns below would be great substitutes.
Patons Shetland Chunky – Beautiful yarn 75% acrylic and 25% wool wish can be machine washed – lay flat to dry.
Red Heart Hygge – This yarn is incredibly soft – it has a soft texture which would add extra dimension to this crochet headband. It comes in a lot of colours and some multi-tones as well.
Lion Brand Scarfie Yarn – This is a really fun yarn that will add life and colour to your crochet headband. It comes in many colour combinations making it great yarn to choose if you love to snazz things up a bit.
