  Abbreviations:
  ch = chain
  sc = single chain
  hdc = half double chain
  dc= double crochet
  dc2tog = double crochet two stitches together
  sc = single crochet
  sl = slip stitch

• Step 2

  *Crochet two strands of the same color throughout the pattern*

  Instead of increasing/decreasing on the outer edges of the work, you’ll be increasing/decreasing in the middle of the work every other row.

• Step 3

  With main color, ch 4. Dc into third stitch from hook. Dc into last stitch. 2 ch, turn. (2 st)

• Step 4

  Dc across, 2 ch, turn, (2 sts.)

• Step 5

  2 Dc in each stitch across (4 sts.) Dc across all stitches

• Step 6

  Dc in first st, 2 dc each in next 2 sts, dc in last st. ch 2, turn. (6 sts.) Dc across all stitches.

• Step 7

  Dc in first 2 sts, 2 dc each in next 2 sts, dc in last 2 sts, ch 2, turn (8 sts.) Dc across all stitches.

• Step 8

  DC in first 3 sts, 2 dc each in next 2 sts, dc in last 3 st, ch 2, turn (10 sts.) Dc across all stitches.

• Step 9

  DC in first 4 sts, 2 dc each in next 2 sts, dc in last 4 sts, ch 2, turn (12 sts.) Dc across all stitches.

• Step 10

  DC in first 5 sts, 2 dc each in next 2 sts, dc in last 5 sts, ch 2, turn (14 sts.) Dc across all stitches.

• Step 11

  ** THIS PART IS DIFFERENT** Dc in first 6 sts, dc in next st, dc in last 7 sts, ch 2, turn (15 st). Dc across all stitches

• Step 12

  Begin decrease as follows:
  Dc in first 6 sts, dc2tog, dc in remaining sts, ch 2, turn (14 sts). Dc across all stitches

• Step 13

  Dc in first 5 sts, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in remaining sts, ch 2, turn (12 sts.) Dc across all stitches

• Step 14

  Dc in first 4 sts, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in remaining sts, ch 2, turn. (10 sts.) Dc across all stitches

• Step 15

  Dc in first 3 sts, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in remaining sts, ch 2, turn (8 sts). Dc across all stitches

• Step 16

  Dc in first 2 sts, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in remaining sts, ch 2, turn (6 sts.) Dc across all stitches

• Step 17

  Dc into first stitch, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into last stitch, ch 2, turn (4 sts). Dc across

• Step 18

  Dc2tog, dc2tog, ch 2, turn, (2 sts.) Dc across

• Step 19

  Now is the time to measure this around your head. If it’s not quite long enough, repeat the last row until it’s the length you need. Make a knot and weave in ends.

• Step 20

  With contrasting color, sl into one of the end stitches. Sc three four times into the end (to create a button hole), then sc all the way around the headband. Sl to first sc. Tie knot and weave in ends.

  Sew the button onto the non-buttonhole end of the headband.

• 

  Step 21

  For the flower: Make a magic circle and make 10 SC stitches into it. Draw the circle in tight and slip last stitch to the first SC.

• 

  Step 22

  *Chain 5, skip a stitch, slip into the next stitch. Repeat * to end of round and slip in first ch of the round. You should have a sort of mini flower right about now.

• 

  Step 23

  In the first loopy area, *SC, 2HDC, DC, 2HDC, SC. Repeat * in the remaining four loopy areas.

• 

  Step 24

  You’ll be working behind the petals you just created, making slip stitches into the SC stitches you just made. First, slip stitch in first stitch so it stays in the back of the flower. Next, slip into the next stitch. *Chain 8, skip a stitch, slip into next stitch. Repeat * till end of round. Slip next stitch to the first SC. You should now have five more loops behind the first set of petals.

• 

  Step 25

  In the first loopy area, *2SC, 2HDC, 3DC, 2HDC, 2SC. Repeat * for the next four loopy areas, thus making five more petals that are offset from the first layer of petals. Slip next stitch to the first SC.

• 

  Step 26

  Cut yarn leaving a 10-inch tail and draw through the remaining loop. Weave in all ends with a darning needle.
