  • You will first make the headband before making the band to go around and cinch the headband to create the bow shape. 
  • A Half Treble crochet will be worked in to the 1st and last stitch of each row to create a neat edge to help with sewing up. 
  • Ch1 does not count as a stitch throughout this pattern.
