It’s a long weekend over here and I am sitting at a craft day with my gals. One of my favourite things to do 🙂 Of course, when a bunch of women come together to craft it’s not really about being super efficient or productive, but it makes the crafting even more fun!
The Pretty Bow Headband is the perfect weekend/evening project. It makes a cute gift for any girl in your life and is also a great project for craft fairs if you sell your crochet items.
The pattern is super simple and the instructions take you through it row by row. I can’t wait to see what you make with this, so PLEASE share on Instagram, Facebook, or Ravelry!
