Hiyaaa!
This is my first ever crochet pattern/tutorial so I'm sure there will be lots of mistakes! Please let me know if/when you find any.
I've only been crocheting for a couple of months but I've fallen head over heels in love with it as an art form and am already enjoying making up (and muddling through!) new designs. I made these for my daughter and she looks super cute in them! The pattern is easily adjustable to any size... have fun! The written pattern as a whole is at the bottom of this post.
I used 'Sirdar Ella' for the main yarn colour and a 4.5mm hook...though I wanted it fairly 'gappy'.
Please feel free to use what you create from this pattern in anyway you like however please respect my copyright on the written text and photography. I'd love it if you could link back to my pattern where possible <3 Thank you so much!

The finished edging
To finish, simply sew or glue (I literally LOVE my hot glue gun! It cost a fiver from eBay and it is the best thing ever) the flowers onto the head band where ever is right for you, feel free to add any sparkles, pearls, buttons...whatever is you! Ta-dah! A finished headband!
Love, Maddy

ps. I'll confess that this only took me an hour (minus the hot glue gunning!) and I made it and photographed it while sat in the car when my daughter was having a little sleep!
