Video Tutorial
Construction
The headband is worked flat in rows from the top-down. The ribbing is crocheted by working a row of double crochet in combination with a row of linked slip stitches. Finish with a double crochet row and seam the ends together. Step-by-step video tutorial included for Adult size on YouTube.
Special Stitches
Linked Sl St – Ch 1, 1 sc in the first st, *pick up a loop in the same st, pick up a loop in the next st, pull that loop through the 2 loops on the hook; rep from * across, end with a sc in the last st, turn.
Stacked dc – Don’t ch at the beg of a row. Insert hook through the first st and work a sc. Insert hook between the 2 loops of the sc st just made, work a sc st. You have now stacked two sc sts making a stacked dc. This gives the side of your work a clean and straight edge. See the video tutorial for further clarification.
