I am kind of obsessed with making this style of headband :) A friend asked me to make one and had a pattern. The pattern was awkward too wide and not long enough so I modified it and I have made like 6 of them in the last week. lol, they are fun, super fast and with the flower still take less than 75 yards of yarn. Oh yeah and if it is too big just eliminate a row or 2 between #10 and #22 or the button can obviously go through any hole if its just a little bit too big. :)
Here is my modified pattern-
Crochet head wrap
With an H hook and worsted weight yarn, ch 4.
Row 1: dc in 3rd ch from hook. dc in next ch and ch 2, turn.
Row 2: two dc in each st. ch 2, turn.
Row 3: dc in first st. two dc in each of next 2 st. dc last st. ch 2, turn.
Row 4: dc in each st. ch 2, turn
Row 5: dc in each of first 2 st. two dc in each of next two st. dc in each of last 2 st. ch 2, turn
Row 6: dc in each of first 3 st. two dc in each of next two st. dc in each of last 3 st. ch 2, turn
Row 7: dc in each of first 4 st. two dc in each of next two st. dc in each of last 4 st. ch 2, turn
Row 8: dc in each of first 5 st. two dc in each of next two st. dc in each of last 5 st. ch 2, turn
Row 9: dc in each of first 6 st. two dc in each of next two st. dc in each of last 6 st. ch 2, turn
Row 10: dc in each st. across, ch 2, turn
Rows 11-22: (rep * – *)
Row 23: dc in each of first 6 st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in each of last 6 st. ch 2, turn.
Row 24: dc in each of first 5 st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in each of last 5 st. ch 2, turn.
Row 25: dc in each of first 4 st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in each of last 4 st. ch 2, turn.
Row 26: dc in each of first 3 st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in each of last 3 st. ch 2, turn.
Row 27: dc in each of first 2 st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in each of last 2 st. ch 2, turn.
Row 28: dc in each st. across. ch 2, turn.
Row 29: dc in first st. dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog. dc in last st. ch 2, turn.
Row 30: dc next 2 sts tog. dc next 2 sts tog.
Row 31: dc last 2 sts tog.
Finish off with a 1" button of your choice on one end. It will fit through the dc on the other end nicely. Then I just made whatever flower I wanted and sewed it on.
