GO BLUE HEADBAND (EAR WARMER)
Today’s post is a pattern by guest designer Cheri from Ohio.
MATERIALS:
Small amount of Red Heart Super Saver (4) yarn in your choice of color(s)
US size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
STITCHES USED:
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch
dc - double crochet
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc): yo (yarn over) your hook; starting from the front, place hook from front to back to front (as per arrow in example) around the post of st (stitch) in row below; complete as a dc (double crochet).
Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc): yo, starting from the back, place hook from back to front to back (as per arrow in example) around post of st in row below; complete as a dc.
NOTES:
This is pretty "stretchy". If you want a smaller headband, decrease original chain loop in multiples of 2 stitches.
If you want a bigger headband, add chains in multiple of 2 stitches.
Total number of rounds also depends on how wide you want your headband. You can make it one solid color, or stripes. 7 or 8 rounds.
INSTRUCTIONS:
7 ROUNDS
Color A - 2 rounds
Color B - 3 rounds
Color A - 2 rounds.
8 ROUNDS
Color A - 3 rounds
Color B - 2 rounds
Color A - 3 rounds
Color A:
Ch 70 Making sure you do NOT twist the chain, join with a ss to form a loop.
ROUND 1: Ch 3 (Do NOT 'turn' work in rounds) dc in next ch and in each ch around. Ss in top of ch 3 to join. (69 dc)
ROUND 2: Ch 3 fpdc around first dc, *bpdc around next dc, fpdc around next dc. Work from * around. Ss in top of ch 3 to join.
(If you are making this in the 7 round color combination, change to color B on last fpdc: yo, insert hook front to back to front around post, yo, draw up a loop, 3 loops on hook, yo, pull through 2 loops, change to color B, yo through last 2 loops)
Repeat Round 2, changing colors when completing the number of rounds for your pattern.
After last round and last ss, cut yarn, pull tight and weave in the ends.
