Beautiful Winter Bow-Tie Headband/Earwarmer




Hook used: I (5.50 mm)
Yarn used: Red Heart Super Saver (This pattern would also work great with wool or cotton yarn)

The Head Band
Ch 12
ROW 1: dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. (10 dc)
ROW 2-25: ch2, turn, dc in each st across, (10 dc)
Fold in half to line up both ends.
Ch1, turn, sc in each stitch across. (make sure you are working your sc through both ends at the same time.) This connects the ends.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

(If you need to make the band longer or shorter to fit any head, simply add or leave off rows.)

Bow-Tie Band
Ch 5
ROW 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each across (4 sc)
ROW 2-10: ch 1, turn, sc in each st across
Fold in half around headband and line up ends.
Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across. (make sure you are working your sc through both ends at the same time.)
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Twist Bow-Tie Band around so the seam is underneath, Line the Bow-Tie band up over the seam of the headband to hide the seam.

* If you would like to adjust this pattern to make a Bow-Tie Headband for a child, start with a ch 7 instead of 12 and work enough rows to fit the child's head. When making the Bow-Tie band, work 5 rows instead of 10.
