Happy Hearts Valentine Headband Crochet Pattern



Happy Hearts Valentine Headband Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


I think you will have fun making this headband.
I designed it in 3 sizes.



And I have made a photo tutorial to help you understand the technique. I decided to design it in 
Red Heart Super Saver I had on hand.
Any Worsted Weight yarn will work for this pattern.
This headband is a great way to use up some of your left over WW yarns. I really like the flow of the head band. 
How it has a graceful flow across the top and bottom of the the ring of hearts.

We Decided To retest The pattern and update it with lots of new pictures, and a Brand new Video.

Weave in your ends.

TIP: By chaining behind the headband, when moving from rows,
 It eliminates having lose ends to weave in.


If your headband is a little "bunchy" you 
may need to loosen up your stitching.

 You can also use a Styrofoam head to
 block the headband, 
by Dampening the headband 
and put it on the head and let it dry.
