So I picked up my hook and went to creating.
Skill Level: Easy
Yarn: #4 worsted weight such as Yarn Bee Soft Secret (I used Cognac)
Gauge: 12 rows hdc = 3.5 inches, 4 hdc = 1 inch
General Supplies:
Hook - E or size needed to obtain gauge
Tapestry/Yarn Needle
Feather Hackle Pad, HERE for the one I used
Sewing Needle and Thread
Embroidery Floss
Stitches and abbreviations:
ch - chain
hdc - half double crochet
sc - single crochet
lpst - loop stitch
st(s) - stitches
sc dec - single crochet decrease
hdc dec - half double crochet decrease
sl st - slip stitch
hk - hook
Notes:
The loop stitch was new to me. This post from PlanetJune helped me with it. There is a right and left hand video tutorial.
The turning ch does not count as a stitch.
Headband
Row 1: Ch 5, hdc in 2nd ch from hk and each across. <4>
Row 2-42 : Ch 1, turn. Hdc in each st. <4>
Finish off and weave in ends.
Cut 12 strands of yarn approximately 14 inches each. On one end of the headband, take 2 strands each and pull through between sts in 3 places leaving the strands doubled. Braid the strands and secure the end with another piece of yarn or knot securely. Repeat for the other end. These will be used to secure the headband on the baby.
