Three Strands Crochet Headband

Introduction

Easy three strands crocheted headband.
The pattern is almost the same as the necklace I've made some time ago, and that's published on Crochet Me as well.

The only difference is that the strands here have the same length, and that the sc part is longer, so that you can knot them behind to close the headband.

Enjoy!

Materials List

4.00mm hook
Any Colour Cotton yarn (worsted weight)

Finished Size

Adult Woman Head, you can make it longer or shorter by changing the number of starting ch.

Gauge

no gauge

Daffodils of Spring

Introduction

I was inspired to make this by the spring flowers coming up in my yard. Daffodils have a really neat shape that translates well into crochet. You could sew a pin onto the back of one to make a brooch, sew one onto a tote to make a nice spring bag, or twist a green pipecleaner through the back to make a stem and stick a bunch into a vase.

Materials List

Size F US/4.0mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Caron Simply Soft acrylic yarn in white (petals) and yellow (cup)

Finished Size

Flower is about 5" wide

Gauge

Gauge is not important in this project, just be sure that the fabric is tight enough so you do not have large holes in your petals.

Notes

I crocheted these in yellow and white, but daffodils come in a wide variety of colors, so use your imagination!

The Pattern

center (make 1):
Ch 12, join to beginning to make a circle.
Sc in each of 12 chs. Do not join rounds, and work in a spiral instead, single crocheting in each stitch around until center piece is a tube about an inch long.
daf 6
(sc, hdc, dc) in each stitch around for one round to make the ruffled edge. Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
daf 5

petals (make 6):
Ch 4
Sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across - 3 st. ch 1 and turn.
Sc 2 in first stitch. sc in next stitch. sc 2 in last stitch. There should be 5 stitches. ch 1 and turn.

Sc in second stitch from hook. Sc next two stitches together. Ch 1 and turn.
Sc two remaining stitche together. Tie off yarn. You should have a petal-shaped piece as shown below.
daf 4
The edges of your petal will be rough, so join the yarn at bottom of petal. Working along the edge of the petal, pick up and sc 11 stitches. In the space at the top of the petal, sc 3 times. Pick up and sc 11 stitches down the other side of the petal. Tie off yarn and weave in ends. The edges of your petal should now be even and finished-looking.
daf 3
Sew petals together to create the back of the flower.
daf in progress 2
