Tips-
· If you’re chain tends to be tighter than the rest of your headband, use the 5mm crochet hook for the chain and then the 4mm crochet hook for the headband.
· Crochet into the back ‘bumps’ of the chain for a neater finish.
· Feel free to change the number of chains needed, this headband measures 20 inches in total so add or subtract chains to fit your head. Remember to add one chain for turning.

‘Buckle’-
Sew the two short sides together using tail end. Fold the seam in half and then fold either
side back. See pictures for detailed explanation. Using tail end, sew through the folds to hold them together. Weave in end.
Cut a length of yellow yarn and thread it. Sew this yarn through the front ‘pinched’ part of the headband several times until you’re happy with the look. Weave in both ends.
You have now finished your Santa Headband!
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Happy crocheting!
