- You can make this as wide as you like, I worked this pattern 27 rows. Which made mine 5 inches wide.
- When you’re done, leave a long tail. About 15-20 inches. You will be using this to sew the ends together.
- Final Steps
- Seaming Instructions: Folding and Sewing the Ends Together
- Fold the band in half matching the ends together.
- Fold the ends in half matching one end to the center of the other band.
- The other band fold over the other side to the front.
- Use the long yarn tail and yarn needle to sew the ends together. Starting on one end, insert the hook through all four layers and pull out the other side. Moving the needle over a little, insert it back through the layers and out the other side. Continue working back and forth like this until you get to the other end.
- When done, weave in the yarn ends and cut off the excess yarn.

Pattern Notes
Pattern is written in US crochet terminology.Measure the headband rather than count the rows. This way, you can use any leftover yarn you happen to have.
You can find You Tube Video step-by-step tutorials for both left hand and right hand crocheters below the written pattern.
Turn after each row.
The chain stitch at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch. Place the beginning stitch of each row in the very first stitch.
Since this pattern is reversible, there isn’t a right side and wrong side.
