I just wanted to share this quick, cute little project with you all my darling readers.
This project uses a Q, 15.75 or 16mm 'speed hook' and 2 strands of chunky weight yarn worked together (you should be able to get one out of a skein) and 2 buttons.
The Bulky headband.
Row 1: Chain 26 Turn, skip 3 spaces and double crochet in the fourth chain from the hook. Double crochet across to the end of the chain. You should have 23 double crochet.
Row 2: Chain 3 and turn, double crochet in each stitch across (23 double crochet).
Row 3:
Chain 3 and turn, double crochet in each stitch across (23 double crochet)Fasten off and weave in ends. Sew buttons near the top and bottom on one end. Then you just fasten with the buttons and away you go. Easy.
Variations:
You can make this project smaller by making a shorter chain. I would recommend no smaller than 19 total stitches for an adult and around 13 for a child sized headband.
If you want to make it a tad wider I would recommend using a half double crochet stitch instead of a double crochet. Simply add an extra row for 4 rows of half double crochet rather than 3 rows of double crochet.
