5mm hook
4 seasons “soft yarn”8 ply
Buttons for securing the headband and to use for flower (optional)

I did the adult headband, I chain 80 or measure your head, (a little bit loose for me) but I will try different sizes above.

For newborn and the rest of the sizes, just measure your work and follow the steps as long as your chain divisible by 2.

For newborn size:  Ch44 + 1
For 1-3 years old chain 74 plus 1

3dc next st. , skip 2sts., 3dc next st, repeat until the end of the row.
slip stitch to the same space of the last row.

ch5, sl. st to the opposite side  and start working the 3dc ( small shell stitch)

Ch3, 2dc same space
skip 2 stitches, 3dc next stitch  make sure level with the other shell side until the end of the row, sl. st.

fasten of, leaving long tail for sewing buttons, weave end.

*sew the button tightly.

Note: If you have 2 rows left space in the last row, just skip 1 and work the 3dc shell stitch.















you should end your last row like this and weave ends.
