thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas this year ! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year !
i saw one of these at urban outfitters for like $30.00! (no way!) i really want to make one!!
Thanks for the perfect headband pattern. I haven’t crocheted in some time and found all the basic info a real refresher course.
My daughter would like to add a button hole and a button can you give me simple instructions on how to do this?
Hi Janet, you can add a hole in one of the last rows in the pattern to make the button hole. To make a hole, you can do the following:
ch 1, turn, sc in next 4 sc, ch 2, skip 2 sc, sc in next 4 sc. Then on the row after that you can sc in each stitch across so that you have a total of 10 sc again.
You can sew the button to the other side of the headband.
Rows 45-55 donate indicate to chain one and turn. Is that intentional? Or was that step omitted in error?
Hi Laura! It looks like it was an error. Thanks for catching that. I edited the pattern is it says to “ch 1, turn” now. Thanks again!
