Carly Headband: Updated

So, last year I switched over my website, where I sold earrings, hats, and scarves, to this blog. I really wanted to focus on patterns and writing, so that’s why I made the switch. I thought it went pretty smoothly, with everything making it over. Well, I was wrong! A couple of weeks ago I got a message letting me know that the Carly Headband link from Ravelry was dead. It didn’t go anywhere on the blog. And, when I looked around and checked the blog myself, I realized she was right! It was gone! I have no idea where it when either. So, when I got the chance, I worked backward from the finished version I had so that I could make a whole new blog post on the Carly headband, and here it is!

Materials:

• 3.25 mm steel hook
• Size 10 crochet thread
  • I used Aunt Lydia‘s
  • 4 colors
• Needle to weave it all in

Gauge:

• Not critical

Terms/ stitches used:

• Ch: chain
• St: stitch
• Dc: double crochet

Notes:

• This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st following the last.
• Each new row is began in the same end so you can keep your seam in one spot.
• If you want this pattern to be larger, just add multiples of 3 to the beginning ch row (row 1).
• If you’d like your headband to be wider, just repeat row 3 (with more repeats than written here) until you’re happy with the size, then move onto row 4 (with more repeats than written here). You may need to adjust the ties if you make it wider, as it will make it longer too.
• The ch-70 spaces on row 4 are your ties.
• You’re going to have to know how to work in between stitches for this pattern.
