I am almost finished with this month's joy. I have been having so much fun writing crochet patterns, and here is a free pattern for you to enjoy. The freebie for today is this sweet headband, and I will release the pattern for the boot cuffs tomorrow!
If you are a Ravelry lover, the link is under the first picture, or you can scroll down where you will find the pattern below.
Any worsted weight yarn. The yarn used in the
picture above is Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” Approx. 220 to 270 yards
(small to ex large, this includes flower)
Hook: J – 10/6.00mm
Gauge: 4x4 = 6 Cross Stitches x 10 rows in pattern of cross stitch row/SC row
Supplies (Optional):
Button of choice, for the closure at nape of your neck. Any other buttons or crystal embellishments of
choice
Pattern Notes:
1. Beginning CH 2 on boot cuff does not count as a stitch, but will recede and become a Mock BP HDC
2. Beginning CH 3 Counts as a DC during Cross Stitch Rows
3. Beginning CH 1 Counts as a SC during the SC rows
Special Stitches: Cross Stitch = Skip ST, DC in nxt ST; Cross back going in front of DC just made, and DC in skipped ST
Scallop = 4 DC in nxt ST
