Hello again,
Another pattern for you to try & sooo easy. The pattern is suitable to follow for any size head too!
I designed this for my lovely Granddaughter's Christening to match the shawl I made for her.
Fairy
Blossoms Headband
Ability Level: EASY
Abbreviations : CH
– CHAIN CHS – CHAINS SC – SINGLE CROCHET DC – DOUBLE CROCHET SS – SLIP STITCH ST – STITCH
Before you begin!
: Measure the circumference of the recipients head!
Please Note: This
pattern is for a baby with head circumference of 41cms BUT ANY SIZE CAN BE MADE
& THE INSTRUCTIONS (APART FROM THE NUMBER OF CHAINS) CAN BE FOLLOWED
EXACTLY!
TO BEGIN: **CH 85
Round 1: SS into 5th CH from the hook. This
forms the inner circle for the blossom!
CH2. SC into this circle 9 times (being careful not to incorporate the
long length of foundation CH). SS into the first ST that you worked (i.e. the
CH2 you began the circle with). CH1
& DC into this same ST (1st petal made). SS to next ST. * SC into the next ST & DC into the same ST (2nd
petal made) SS to next ST. *
RPT from *
to * making your last SS into the
first ST you began this round with, making a total of 5 petals. Fasten off. **
You will now make
another two of these CHS/Flower bands in
exactly the same way following the instructions
from ** to **
You will now have
3 CHS/BANDS with blossoms attached!
Putting it all
together! :o)
Take your first
two bands. Place them side by side with both foundation CHS facing the same
way. Now offset the blossoms so that one is slightly below the other one &
the bottom of one petal from the first higher CH is just touching the top petal
from the lower blossom (See PHOTO below) These petals must not be the ones
where the foundation CH starts or the blossoms will not sit right. 
Do exactly the
same with the remaining CH, again slightly offsetting the blossom below the
blossom on the second CH.
Now, line up the
CHS so that they all run in a parallel fashion & attach the loose end of
each CH behind each corresponding blossom making sure that it is running in
line with the CH already attached to each blossom so the CHS are all equal in
appearance with approx. 2.5cms (1inch), in between each CH as in the above PHOTO.
TO FINISH : Sew in
loose ends & attach a pearl, bead or sequin into the centre of each
blossom.
The headband is
now ready to wear! :o)
