Pattern notes

1. My newest stitch creation thats the brownee stitch https://youtu.be/KpWBEYnn0s4

Simply do alternating stitches of single crochet and triple crochet.

2. Be sure when starting the round of the brownee stitch you ch1 in the beginning and ch3 if starting off with a triple crochet.

3. I simply left round 1 unattached because you will be slst together and then ch2 and working on the other side then continue by doing a double crochet.

4. If you rather not add a flower you dont have to but it is a cute touch if I may say so .

You can change the color and hook size if you need to.

Approximately 180 to 200 yards is needed for this headband.

I didn't take time to figure exactly but here is a video on how I figured out yardage for a pattern .
