Adjustable Bow Headbands

These bows are easy-peasy, and the strap is adjustable.  All you need is yarn and a button!  

Pattern:
Use H hook and worsted weight yarn.  
hdc=half double crochet, sl st= slip stitch, ch= chain,  st=stitch, hdc2tog=hdc 2 together

{How to do a hdc2tog:   Yarn over, (insert hook in next st, yarn over, pull through) x 2, yarn over, pull through all remaining st.  1 stitch decreased.}




Ch4, turn.
Row1:  Starting in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in each st across (3st)
Row2:  Ch1, turn.  2hdc in next st, hdc in next st, 2hdc in next st (5st)
Row3:  Ch1, turn.  Hdc in each st across (5st)
Row4:  Repeat row3.
Row5:  Ch1, turn.  Hdc2tog, hdc in next st, hdc2tog (3st)
Row6:  Ch1, turn.  Hdc in each st across (3st)
Ch1, turn.  Repeat rows 1-6, for a total of 12 rows.  

Finishing:  Match up the ends of the bow.  Sl st the ends together, forming a ring.  Cut yarn, leaving a 2-ft. tail.  Pull tail through loop.  Wrap tail around center of flattened bow numerous times.  Secure both tails and weave to hide.  Fasten off.

Adjustable Band:  
To determine length of chain, add about 6in. to head measurement.
Make a chain to desired length, turn.  Skip 8 st, sl st in next st, forming a loop.  Fasten off.
Attach button to other end of chain using beginning tail.  Fasten off.  
Feed chain under the wrapped center of the bow, in the back.
To fasten, feed button through loop and work it through any stitch, as shown.
