Stitch11 Rose and Headband Pattern

I recently started wearing headbands when I would try to pull off the “Elsa Braid”. Without one, my hair on one side would slowly fall down. It didn’t take long before my daughter started begging me to make her headbands also. 🙂 If you do not know what the measurements are for who you will be making the headband for.. check out >>>this<<<  chart. It’s by far my favorite! You can also try this pattern out with different yarns and hook sizes.

Supplies
Scissors
Yarn needle
1 inch hair tie (or what size you prefer)
Cascade Yarns Cherub DK #3 <-(Linked to where I bought the yarn online) 
For the Rose I used a 4.25 MM crochet hook.
For the Headband I used a 3.75 MM crochet hook.

Stitches 
Slip Stitch 
SC – Single Crochet 
HDC  – Half Double Crochet 
DC – Double Crochet 
TRE – Treble Crochet 
DTR – Double Treble 

Rose
Row 1: CH 19. Turn, Skip 1 CH. SC into next 18 CH. CH 1, turn.  (18 SC)
Row 2: 2 SC into each SC across. CH 1, turn.  (36 SC)
Row 3: Slip stitch into the first stitch. {2 DC, 1 TRE, 1 DTR, 1 TRE, 2 DC}- all in next stitch. Slip stitch into the next stitch. **Slip stitch into the next stitch.  {2 DC, 1 TRE, 1 DTR, 1 TRE, 2 DC}- all in next stitch. Slip stitch into the next stitch.  Repeat from ** across. (12 pedals)
Finish off leaving long yarn end.
Spiral the pedals around. When you look at the bottom of the flower you will see the first row of SC going in a perfect spiral. Use your yarn needle and yarn end, secure the bottom of the flower so it doesn’t un-spiral.

Headband
Row 1: Attach yarn onto your hair tie. CH 1, 6 SC onto hair tie. CH 1, turn. (6 SC)
Row 2: CH 1, HDC into same stitch and next five stitches. CH 1, turn. (6 HDC)
Repeat Row 2 until desired length.  Make sure you consider the stretch of the yarn, and the headband.
For my daughter, her head measures 20 inches. I made the headband 13 inches long. (6.5 inches folded)  For myself, I made mine 16 inches long. If you are using a different yarn weight, hook, or headband.. you will want to test your stretch. If you do not know the measurements of the head you are crocheting for, >>>THIS<<< is my favorite head measurement chart.
Joining Round: Put the other side of the hair tie along the stitches from your last round. SC over the hair tie while you SC into each stitch from your last round. Finish off, attach Rose, and weave in your ends.
