FREE Pattern Friday: Headband & Bow

Decided to set up a table at the local Christmas Craft Show in November.  Searched the internet for some cute headbands I could make that would use up some of my bits of yarn.  Really liked the idea of a headband with a bow, but just couldn't find one I really liked.  So.... I made up my own pattern :)

Measure the head you will be making if for.  If you are like me and making it for a craft show or charity, use the chart here - How to Properly Size Crochet Hats.

I did this one so it would fit a Toddler




Materials:
Worsted Weight (4) yarn.
5mm (H) hook & 4.5mm 
yarn needle for sewing in ends

Stitches Used:
slst - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet

INSTRUCTIONS:

Headband:

With the 5mm hook: Chain 60 (or as many as you need to do the size you want)
Switch to the 4.5mm hook for rest of pattern

Row 1: sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain to the end.  Slst to join in the first sc of the row being careful not to twist the chain. You will sew the bottom together when you are finished the headband. (59 stitches)

Row 2: ch 1, hdc each stitch around. Slst to join in first hdc.

Row 3 - 7: repeat row 2

Row 8:  sc in each stitch. Slst to join in the first sc.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Bow:

With the 5mm hook Chain 41.
Switch to the 4.5mm hook for the rest of the bow.

Row 1 - sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain to the end.  Slst to join in the first sc of the row being careful not to twist the chain. You will sew the bottom together when you are finished the headband. (40 stitches)

Rows 2-7: ch 1, hdc each stitch around. Slst to join in first hdc.

Row 8: sc in each stitch. Slst to join in the first sc.

Fasten off and weave in ends.




Place the Bow piece on top of the Band piece with the seams together.  

With the 4.5mm hook, chain 50.

Pinch the headband and bow pieces together and wrap with the chain "rope".  Tie in the back and tuck in the ends.
