Oh Thats Cute 🙂
This is lovely! I’m just learning to crochet, and I think I’ll try this one. I have a few nieces that this would be lovely on.
Thanks so much. I love your site.
Mary 🙂
It’s beautiful! All your patterns are! I’ll be linking.
Hi Rachel,
I am sure going to make this one for me and my daughter. Thanks! It is very pretty.
Really pretty. Love your patterns!
Hi, I’m been frequenting you website for a few weeks now and just love it. Even though I know a lot about crocheting I find you how to articles well written. When I saw this headband I knew I had to make it. However, I discovered one typo and have a question about one part of the pattern.
Typo: On the strap instructions row 5 should say dc in next 2 not 4.
Question: On the main part of the headband for row 4 I’m unsure about where I was to get the last ch-2 space? I just used the ch-3 space. Was I missing something?
Thanks for all the great patterns. I can’t wait to see what the store has to offer and I’d certainly be happy to help test patterns if you need it.
Thanks for finding the typo Liz! The ch-2 was suppose to be ch-3 also. You would make a great tester 🙂
yes this is lovely!
Very pretty headband, Rachel! Thanks for sharing the patter with us!
Hi Rachel,
I’ve been viewing your patterns lately and must say I find them very unique. While I’ve been crocheting for years I find sometimes I would like to do a pattern but not with any difficult stitches. You seem to create patterns that at a glance might look difficult but is pretty easy to do. I will try out this pattern.
Thanks for sharing.
On the strap instructions what does the dc2tog mean
Hi Denise, the dc2tog stands for double crochet 2 together. Here’s the tutorial if you need it: How to Crochet: Double Crochet Decrease (dc2tog)
I participate in WWII reenactments, and this will be perfect! Thank you!
