Leaf Assortment Head Band

By    July 25, 2020 // No comments

Hello fellow crocheters! I had some yarn left after finishing my Leaf Assortment scarf, which I posted last week, so I made two matching head wear using the same leafy pattern. In this post you'll find the instructions for making the head band. The band can be crocheted in different color combos depending on what part of skein you have left, because it only requires about 80 meters (90 yards) of thread. You are, of course, free to make it as a stand alone piece, or even make it with a sold color yarn, though i think a multi-colored yarn can really make the leafy shapes stand out. So grab your hook and start working! you will be done in less than one hour.

 Level: Intermediate
