February 26, 2016 by Stitch&Unwind 6 Comments

    I really love this pattern! I have 5 grand daughters ages 4 to 18 who love headbands in the winter, this would be a great gift from all of them in the summer. I can’t wait to start, but I hate weaving in the ends, I just crochet over the last color by caring it over the chain. So much cleaner and it saves time.

    My daughter just finished a production of Godspell and this would have been perfect for the cast! Oh well, I’ll just have to make some any way.

    Went into the local pharmacy and was surprised to see a young lady wearing one of these. She says they are all the rage here!
