Weave in ends

Place center of the bow over the seam on the headband and wrap the yarn tightly around the two pieces. This could take a few to several yards of yarn depending on how many times you want to wrap the yarn. I did a few wraps then adjusted the bow to be sure it was centered and scrunched to my liking. Then I continued to wrap till it looked like I wanted. Tie your yarn off in the back being sure that your knot is not in the center of the wrap. Tie it either near the top or bottom this way the knot is not poking you in the forehead. Weave in the ends.

Helpful Hints:

Always turn your work the same way at the end of each row. This way your ends are uniform. To adjust the size, just add more or less chains when making the starting chain.

For this headband I used 

an N hook and

2 strands of worsted weight yarn

held together

Chain as many as needed 

to fit around your head snugly 

but not too tight.

To do this 

I usually make the chain 

trying it around my head as I go

writing down how chains I made.
(so you know for the next try to add or subtract) 

Then I crochet two rows 

and fit it around my head

 to see if it fits the way I want.

If its good, I keep going.

If not I frog it and start over 

adding or subtracting 

chains as necessary.
(this is why you write down how many chains you started with)

The double strands of yarn 

work up like bulky yarn.

This is the first pattern I have written so let me know if you have any questions.
