Basic slightly wavy Headband ~ part of the create a chiq headband of your own~

Supplies: 4 ply yarn ~ I recommend redheart soft, redheart botique ( changes or botique) Redheart shimmer, Loops and Thread Impeccable, and Vanna's Choice and Glamour ( hold 2 together as one)

Size H Hook

Skill Level EASY!!

For a skinny basic headband chain 6 for a thicker one ( ch 10)

Dc in 3rd chain from the hook. Dc a total of 4 times, first chain two from here on out count as a step up not a stitch and creates a slightly wavy headband. ( dc8time)
2nd row and every row until the end chain 2 turn DC a total of 4 times ( Dc 8 times)

Continue until when stretched the headband is the right size. If you dont stretch it, it will be to big and won't stay in place.

There are a few ways to connect it.

If you have a yarn needle just sew the ends together and weave in the ends.

You can use your hook and fold the ends together and SC through each hole.

You can sew a button on one side. There is no need for a button hole because you can slip it between two of your DC's .

What will you add to your headband??

I added a 3 layer bow
