Simple Headwrap with Flower

I just love yarn! I recently came into a few skeins of this beautiful chunky blue acrylic. A friend is moving away and she offered all her yarn to whoever wanted. Naturally I had to snap it up. Immediately me gears began to spin coming up with a project for this lovely stuff. I decided pretty quickly it just needed to be a headwrap. Here in the Alps it is never too early to prepare for cold weather.

It came out so cute! This project is really simple and you can do it too.

You'll need:
- Approximately 40 yards Bulky yarn
- N/10mm Crochet Hook
- Large Eye Yarn Needle

You can make this headband in several different sizes: child, teen/small adult, medium adult, and large adult.

With N hook, chain 38 [40, 42, 44]

Row 1: In third chain from hook, make a half double crochet. One half double crochet in each stitch across. 36 [38, 40, 42] stitches. Chain 2 and turn.

Row 2: Crocheting only in the back loops, crochet one half double crochet in each stitch. 36 [38, 40, 42] stitches. Chain 2 and turn.

Row 3-5: (you can change the number of rows to suit your tastes) Repeat Row 2.

Finish off. Leave a long tail for stitching. Whip stitch ends together or use your favorite joining technique. Using a scrap of yarn, tie it around a section of headband to give it a gathered look. Attach a flower applique over the gathered section of headband.

I used the Picot Flower designed by Julie Armstrong Holetz over at SkaMama designs. The pattern can be found here. Or use your own favorite crochet flower!
