Two Way Headband
Inspiration
As I thought of making this headband, I knew that I wanted to create something that I can wear in spring, summer and fall. I wanted something that I will not feel sweaty and uncomfortable wearing during the hot summer days or cold during those chilly spring days. That is why I decided that a lace headband will be ideal for spring, summer as well as fall.
This is a simple and easy headband to make and it works out very quickly. All you need to know is how to crochet chains, single crochet and slip stitch. The best part is, this simple headband can be worn two different ways. See the photos on the foam heads for the two ways it can be worn.
The truth is, I have already started wearing the headband and I am loving it. I get compliments every time l wear it and that leads me to believe that I made the right choice.
