Headbands

I got an order for two headbands! I used Red Heart for the black and purple. The teal is Wool of the Andes Yarn from KnitPicks! I started with 10 chains for these and did it a bit differently just to secure it into place :)  Surprisingly how I don't have much teal yarn.

BOTTOM PIECE
Magic ring
1.  6 Single crochet into the ring.
2.  Increase around. (12)
3.  "Single crochet, increase" around. (18)
 

Hold up the piece FIRST underneath to line up with the hole.  I like it to be small because then it'll lay flat.  If it's too tiny, then do another increase round. Leave a long tail to attach around the very bottom of the 6 HDC's.

Then cut a long tail to attach it.



TENTACLES: Make 6 or 7
1. Chain 30.
2. Skip one, single crochet across.
3.  Chain 1, skip one, single crochet across.

I always attach one tentacle in the middle and then two on each side. I turn it around and attach another across the middle one to make sure it lines up. There was enough space on mine to add a 7th one :)

Flower: (crochet 5)

Repeat { “Chain 3, skip next chain, single crochet in the next 3 chs” } til the end.

Sew on each flower onto the band piece or you could weave in ends to attach it!

Crochet Pattern: Pokeball Hat V.2

Here's a redo for the Pokeball hat! This is supposed to fit more loosely than my first pokeball hat. The biggest complaint was it could only fit a child's head.  All of my hats are made to fit my own head which is a 22" head circumference. 

The other difference is this circle piece should lie flat with the increase round.

Supplies:

• worsted yarn in red, black & white
•  I hook
• yarn needle to weave ends in.
