Crochet Headband with Bow

Sorry for not posting for so long. Mommy Maye has so many things to do from work, online shop, crafts, to family. Actually, I really need more time but I know if there's a will, there's a way.

So, I have another DIY stuff for you. I have made a crochet headband with a bow. I am learning crocheting and this my very first project!

Here's how to do it.

You will need:

Hook (5/10)

For the Bow:

Ch20, hdc in third ch from hook, and in each cg across, turn

Row1: ch2, hdc in next st and in each across, turn.

Rows 2-4: repeat row1

Cut yarn and weave in ends.

For the Bow Center:

Ch8, hdc in third ch from hook, and in each ch across.

For the Headband:

Ch141

Row1: sc in 2^nd sc from hook and in the next 29chs (30sc), ch80, sc in the 30^th ch from the beginning of previous ch loop, and in the next 29chs, ch1.

That's it! Hope you like it.
