Headband Part 3

 Ok… the third and final chapter of this amazing headband!!!  The only other thing you will need is 2 18" pieces of ribbon, (the white) and 2…. 4" pieces of ribbon.   :)   Oh… and a glue gun!


To see the other parts of this tutorial, go herehere, and here.   :)





Now take all of your end yarn pieces and lay them out so none of them are overlapping each other.















Now take your glue gun and glue the ends together!!!








Keep on gluing until all your ends are glued together.  :)




Then snip the ends to make a clean cut… just make sure all the ends stay glued...


 I also glued this part… where my finger is, to keep it from gapping.


                                             SEE???  Much better.  :)
















Wrap this ribbon around gluing as you go...

Do this to both ends…. and…..
YAY!!! :D you are finished….


TADA!!!! It looks sooooo good.  (and even better on.)  :)

Headband Part 1


For this project you will need: Yarn, scissors, a glue gun, and ribbon.  :)

This is your chain that you learned how to make here.  :) You need to make 2 long chains…



 The first one needs to be 160 chains. (roughly)
 To end it, pull your hook out and cut the end...
 Now pull the loop…..
 And pull tight…. easy.  :)
 The next chain needs to be 300! I know, it's alot, but it goes by quick.  :)

Now divide both the separate strands into 3 equal parts...
 Take the longer piece and form it like the pic above...

Then take the smaller strand and put it on top like this….


P.S… to see the finished project, go here.

Chain...

O.K….  In order to make the next really cute project that I am about to post, you will need to master the skill of chaining.  These pics were taken from Klutz's book: Learn How to Crochet.

So, are you ready???  Here we go!!!  You will need… 1. yarn and 2. crochet hook


Just follow the directions from the pictures:::










TADA!!!

Come And Look...


Come and look!  This is such a beautiful pattern for a beach cover-up. Just perfect for this time of year! It is very simple and quick to whip up. The front and back are worked the same until you get to the top, making it easy to crochet. Come and see how a few balls of yarn can turn into such a wonderful creation, just like how God turned us into His wonderful creation!  ***Praise God***



              I used Cotton Ease to make this project, but you can use any material you would like.
  I also used a size 4.0mm hook. I almost always use a size 4 unless I am working with really thick yarn.
                    Keep up the pattern until your piece measures 18in. Or as long as you would like.
  To print this pattern, go here.

This pattern is written for the smallest size.

With your main color, ch 63. 
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across- 62 sts at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 4, turn, sk first 2 sts, 3 tr in next st, *sk next 2 sts, 3 tr in next st; rep from * across to last 2 sts, sk next st, tr in last st- 20 3-tr groups at the end of this row.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across.
Rep last 2 rows until piece measures 18in. Or as long as you would like.


After you complete this, you will be almost halfway done! Good Job!
