Let’s Crochet Floral Headbands For My Little Sister

Hello everyone, I’m here to share with you all these floral headbands I made for my little sister. She wasn’t well throughout the whole of this academic term and had to go to the hospital so many times. I told her if she does well in her exams, I’ll buy her whatever she wanted. I was surprised to see her report card and exams papers today. For someone who was at the hospital most of the time, she really outdid herself.

Just like any 7 year old, I was expecting her to tell me she wanted a doll but she told me she wanted champagne! Yeah you heard that right. That wasn’t all. She also wanted “flowers headbands”(floral headbands).
I got right to work after she told me about the headbands because I knew I wouldn’t be around by tomorrow. She wanted two but I made three just to show her how proud I am of her.

The materials I used;
• leftover yarns
• 1.60mm hook
• a pair of scissors.

Procedure
I made the daisy part by making a magic ring in yellow and then I made 15 double crochets in the magic ring. I slip stitched this and then cut the yarn with a scissors.

I changed the colour to white and then I first made three treble crochet in first three stitches and then 4 chains. The next thing I did was to making three more treble crochets but I started on the last stitch that contained the third treble crochet.(For treble crochet, you yarn over twice and then you pull through the 6 loops three times. You will do this by pulling through 2 loops at a time)

I moved to the last part where I made the square part. I changed the yarn to a different color and then made 5 double crochets in the spaces that were made created by the chains.
I chained one and into the next space, I made two double crochet, a treble crochet, 3 chains, a treble crochet and two double crochets. This was done at the four corners to give it that square shape.
I repeated this pattern till I was done with the square.

I now attached the squares together and then made a decreasing block at the ends. I did that by making half double crochet and then decreasing each row by one stitch at the ends.
I made a chain at the ends so they could be used to tie the heads.

I was going to make one in orange but I changed my mind and substituted that with brown.

The result.

Honestly, I thought this was going to be difficult because of the details that a floral headband needs. I’m glad I still pulled this off for my girl. Projects like these make me really happy because they end up in the hands of a loved one and that means a lot to me. It’s sad I won’t be here to see the smiles on her face after she wakes up to see this, I’ll still find a way to get her reaction.

Thank you for your time.
