Crocheted Flower Headband

I have been wanting to make a crocheted headband for my daughter since she was born and just never got around to it. She turns 5 months on Sunday so I decided I needed to get it done before she turned 6 months so I could make them for her pictures. Well I'm extremely happy with the result. She looks pretty darn cute with it on and I will be making more. Don't you just love the expression on her face - big cheeks!

I made a simple flower from a pattern that I used to follow when I first starting crocheting and then continued with the chain for the desired length until it reached around her head, then did a slip stitch to attach the chain to the back of the flower. Then just weave in your end. Done!

Supplies:
Size H crochet hook
I used Super Saver White yarn

Flower:
Make a magic ring, chain 1
Round 1 - 5 sc inside the ring, join with a sl st
Round 2 - Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around, join with a sl st
Round 3 - *Ch 2, 2 dc in the next st, ch 2, sl st in the next st* - repeat 4 times

~ This will produce a 5 petal flower ~

Once you do your last sl st, do another sl st in the back of your flower. That way your chain will start in the back of the flower. Chain as many as you need for the desired length then sl st to the back of the flower.  I believe I chained 38 to fit around her head comfortably. Be careful not to twist your chain when doing your last sl st. Finish off and then weave in ends.

As you can see, she loves my camera and looking at herself! She is just like her daddy!
