By the way (I know this is random), if you haven't signed up for my giveaway, do it now. Last day to enter is August 31st, 2014. Here is a link: SIGN UP NOW!!! :-)
Bow Headband Pattern:
Materials:
1. Crochet thread - size 10 (2 colors)
2. Crochet hook - size 10
Abbreviations:
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
rnd - round
st - stitch
hdc - half double crochet
Making the Band:
Because this headband ties in the back, leave a long tail (about 3 inches).
Chain until you have 10 inches (longer for bigger heads but this one is for a baby).
rnd 1: Crochet in front loop only. 2 sc in 1 st; 1 sc until you get to last st; 2 sc in last st
Continuing in the rnd, 2 sc in 1st st; 1 sc until last st; 2 sc in last st. Sl st in next and fasten off.
The finished band should look like that (see picture below).
Leave a long tail. Because I used crochet thread, I later added another strand to the two tails. That makes them thicker and easier to tie.
Making the Bow:
The bow is made the exact same way as the band. We'll only add another rnd.
ch 7 (if this seems too small or you just want a bigger bow, ch more)
rnd 1: Crochet in front loop only. 2 sc in 1 st; 1 sc until you get to last st; 2 sc in last st
Continuing in the rnd, 2 sc in 1st st; 1 sc until last st; 2 sc in last st. Sl st in next and ch 1.
rnd 2: 1 hdc, 2 hdc (once); 1 hdc until last 2 sts; 1 hdc, 2 hdc (once in last two sts).
Continuing in the rnd: 1 hdc, 2 hdc (once); 1 hdc until last 2 sts; 1 hdc, 2 hdc in last 2 sts.
Sl st and fasten off.
Weave in ends.
Middle band:
I have a little band wrapped around the bow in the middle (picture below). To do that just ch 7 and sc once. Wrap around bow and sew.
Glue or sew the bow to the band and voila! The headband is done!!!
