Crochet Chiq

Headband time!!! These are headbands I have seen all over the place and at first I thought they were made by having 3 separate chains but after seeing some at a craft fair last week I think is way looks better!! Supplies F crochet hook 4 ply yarn This is a VERY EASY pattern!! Great for a beginner!! To start you will chain 115 chain 20 for the side chain 75-for the mid chain 20-for the side Turn ch1 sc in the first 20 chains, then chain 75, and sct in the last 20chains.  Turn ch1, sc in the first 20, then chain 75, and sc in the last 20 chains. Fasten off and weave in your two ends. If you want to make this smaller adjust the pattern by reducing the count for the mid section A basic child size would be Ch 20 for the side ( for a small child you could do 15 here) Chain 35- for the mid Ch 20- for the side Also changing the hook size or yarn size is a very easy way to make the headband bigger or smaller. There is no wrong way here what ever you...

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 ...
