Cotton Headband
I made this headband to hold my hair back while I am wearing a mask or washing my face. Pretty utilitarian, but a finished object nonetheless.
I brilliantly used velcro for a closure. It’s the new kind that irons on. I was a little skeptical, but the bond is really strong. Hooray for velcro innovation!
yarn details
yarn: Bernat Cotton Tots – in my stash without a label, just a little note that said “cotton tots.”
needles: size 7 straights, D crochet hook
gauge: 20 stitches X 25 rows over 4″ in seed st
time: 2 hours
entertainment: BSG and 90210
notes
– this ended up being way too wide and way too long – I underestimated how much wider the crochet border would make it and I didn’t account for the stretch factor with the length. I guess I didn’t think seed stitch would be that stretchy – especially with the crochet all around.
– burnt a small spot when I was ironing on the velcro… couldn’t help it. David proposed to Donna and my attention was obviously pulled away from ironing.
