Star Jasmine (Crochet Headband Pattern)
$5.50 USD
A quick pattern for a simple floral lace headband, with options for ties or a covered elastic strap to secure, as well as an elasticized version that goes all the way around the head. As of July 2010, there are two versions, one with North American (Canada/US) terminology, and a version using AUS/NZ/UK terminology. Both versions give measurements in both inches and centimeters. Both versions are included in the Ravelry purchase.
Pattern includes full written instructions and crochet symbol charts.
