Three finished headbands
These are the headbands I was talking about in yesterday's post. They are knit in the round, very simple. One skein of worsted weight yarn. I used Cascade 220 Superwash. Makes three headbands and three sets of leaves. I used size 8 circular needles. Cast on 76 stitches. K1P1 for 5 rows. Stockinette stitch for 16 rows. K1P1 for 5 rows and bind off loosely.
For the flowers and leaves, I just went to Ravelry and looked up Crochet flowers. The two bands Olivia is modeling has the same flower. The light pink one is quite a bit larger because I used a larger hook. The bottom band has a flower that is not quite as dense. I actually prefer the top two flowers. The leaves are very simple single crochet and sewn onto the band after they were crocheted.
Now I am working on a headband by this designer. I love her work. You can purchase her designs online. She is also on Ravelry. I am loving this band. It is a little more like the ones you are seeing in the stores these days. I am sure I will use the same flowers I used on these bands instead of the flower she uses. Just because I really am very happy with how they look. I think I will also add leaves to mine.
