HEADBAND:
Starting with MC, ch 121 and turn.
Row 1: In second ch from hook, sc 20, ch 80, sk next 80 ch, and sc in last 20 sts. Do not turn. (If needed, adjust the “ch 80” in this row to change the size of the headband. For example, a child’s headband for ages 3 to 6 would have approximately ch 70 to 75 instead of ch 80.)
Row 2: Working on the opposite side of the last 20 sc completed in Row 1, sl st in 20 sc, ch 80, sk 80 previous chs, and sl st in last 20 sts. Tie off and weave in ends.
You should now have a linear headband. Each end is the thicker “tie” portion used to tie the head band around the head, with 3 sep arate chains of 80 in the middle of each end.
