hothead hairband
pattern details
material grrrlz reject “no-frills” philosophies and are instead on a mission to add frills to every piece possible! *salute* this time around, we’ve got a basic headband, tied with a bow at the back of the head, and forming a crown of frills up top<3
materials
worsted weight yarn (2 colors)
3.5mm crochet hook
gauge
20 stitches by 20 rows=4x4 in/10x10 cm
using single crochet stitch and a 3.5mm crochet hook
technique
begin by creating a basic band, then finish with increase rows to make the edge frill up.
then crochet chains from either end to tie the hairband around your head.
