Hi Amy, I have made two of these headbands for 2 of our granddaughters and they love them!! V
My cousin posted this link on Facebook requesting one or a million in different shades. So easy and quick to make, and I've been able to use remnants to make them up. Thanks!
Whenever I start the flower I chain 35 and do exactly as you say but I keep coming up with only 14 v stitches rather than 16. What am I doing wrong?!
im not sure what you are doing wront, but i found a pattern for the flower here, http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/chs-rosettes.html
also youtube.com has good videos for these flowers too.
Hey! I came across your blog today amd saw this pattern.. I have been looking for something like this to make. I am actually very new to crochet..like this my day 7 lol. I was wondering on row 2 you have 5 sts in () what does that mean? please reply soon :) Blessings to you and I have now become you faithful crochet follower :)
it means 5 stitches were made in that row
This is the pattern I use for my crochet flowers - I love it! Thanks!
I made the flower a little wrong, but it still worked beautifully! Thanks, I've made a bazillion flowers but haven't ever made one using this method. It sounds like it's fairly common, which goes to show that it's worth posting things, even if you think everyone already knows how to do it!
Thank you!
