Hello my lovely @diyhub family, lovers of crafts. It's your favourite crochet artist
@zali.bee. Today, I will be guiding you all on how I made this lovely ear warmer and neck warmer headband.
But before that, permit me to tell you a short story which inspired this headband.
A lady reached out to me and sent this particular headband, though she said she would love it in red, and she need it in bunks for festive sales. Unfortunately we couldn't agree on a price so I didn't get the order. But I kept imagining the inspo she sent. I love the pattern used. It's a combination of ( single crochet and popcorn stitch). I'm not a lover of red. But I decided to go for red because, I mean, it's festive season.☺️♥️
And guess what it came out nice and lovely.♥️ And I love how it fits beautifully and perfectly. I was outside taking pictures of it.
And someone passing by saw it and admired it. And boom I finally got myself an order for 2 of my headbands. Yeah! Not just 1 but 2. You can't imagine how super excited 😆 I was. And that's why I said to myself, I must share this with my family.
So let's start with the tutorial and trust me it's beginner friendly and you will love the process.
