Flower Child Collection - Free Crochet Pattern #3

The third and final pattern in the Flower Child Collection is the original headband pattern that I created. I am sharing it for free for the first time since I published it for sale three years ago. It has been one of my most popular items on my Etsy shop because it works for babies, children, and adults. You can find the written instructions below. You can also find the full photo tutorial in the E-book on my Ravelry.

Materials:

C Hook (2.75 mm)

Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Cotton size 10

(I like to use white and yellow)

Scissors

Large eye needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations:

Ch - chain

Sc - single crochet

Dc - double crochet

Sl st - slip stitch

RS – right side

WS – wrong side

Notes: 

Based on my tension, each flower measures approximately 1 inch. From the 1^st flower to the 10^th, the headband measures approximately 10 inches, with 10.5 inch ties on either side. By switching up your hook and/or yarn, or even the number of flowers, you can adjust the size of the whole headband.

Instructions:

1.  Ch 70, DO NOT cut the white thread.

2.  Join yellow thread, and ch1. Again, DO NOT cut the white thread.

3.  Sc 6 in last white chain.

4.  Join with sl st to first sc. Cut yellow thread leaving a couple inches for weaving in. Join white thread at the place where you joined the sc’s together.

5.  Ch 2, 3 dc in same st as join. Ch 2, sl st in same st. Sl st into next sc.

6.  Repeat step 5 until you have 6 total petals. Join with sl st to first petal.

7.  Ch 7

8. Repeat steps 2 through 6.

9. Keep repeating steps 2 through 6 with 7 chains in between each flower. After the 10^th flower, ch 70 to make the other tie.

Finishing:

Knot the ends of the ties right at the last chain of each tie. I use the yellow ends on each flower to secure down the flowers in place. Weave in the yellow ends.
