Crochet Chiq

This one drove me crazy until I made several!

Every time I have make this I have used a different 4ply y...

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.

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 ...
