Crochet Flower Headband

Have you ever felt like your ears are about to fall off? I have when I made the mistake of stepping outside, during the winter without anything covering my ears. Trust me: It's something I've vowed never to do again. So why not do it in style? The Crochet Flower Headband is a perfect alternative to ear muffs and is super easy to make.

US J/6.0MM

1 Ball Patons ColorWul in “Creek” (90 yd/ball)

NOTES

SC = Single Crochet

DC =  Double Crochet

CS = Camel Single Crochet

A camel stitch implies that you are working your stitches into the horizontal bar that fall below the the normal “V” that you crochet into. In this pattern, we will be working Camel Single Crochet. Keep in mind, since we are working in a round, the horizontal bar will be located on the inside of the round rather than the outside. If you are having trouble understanding this concept, there are several resources available online. Just google “Camel Stitch Crochet”

FLOWER

Make a slip knot, but when you do, leave a tail that is about 15 inches long.

Chain 21 (Or any amount. The more you chain, the bigger your flower)

Slip Stitch into the 2nd chain from the hook. Then, in the same chain, complete 3 DC.

*Slip Stitch into the following stitch. Then, complete 3 DC in the same chain.

Repeat from * until you reach the last chain

In the last chain, Slip Stitch, Chain 1, Cut, and Fasten.

You will see that a spiral has formed. Roll the spiral so that it takes the shape of a flower. Then gently, take a needle and attach it to the tail you left at the beginning. Sew the flower onto the headband. Once you’ve sewn the flower onto the headband, cut, fasten, and fasten. Weave in all ends.
