Here is one of my homemade Christmas presents! This crocheted headband is simple enough for beginners (me) to make and can be altered for different stitches or yarns. I chose to half double crochet in a bright teal color that is a Simply Soft Caron yarn. I have been drooling over their yarns for weeks, and this project finally gave me an excuse to buy a skein. Plus, I still have tons of leftover yarn to use for future projects.
I decided that 5 stitches across was the width I wanted for my accessory. I made almost enough rows to complete the headband and then I cut a small piece of elastic and tied it to both ends of the band. I used hot glue to lay the ends flat. The flower was made from a package of felt pieces and a button. This was a free style project, but if you would like more specific measurements or details, please let me know!
*I think smaller elastic would have worked just as well, but I wanted to make sure this was extra secure. Also, no one will see those two inches that are not as attractive.
