Yarn of your choice and hook recommended for the yarn

I used 8ply/DK/Sports weight and a 4mm/G hook

Sewing needle

Hair elastic

dc= double crochet

inc= 2 dc in same stitch

sl st = slip stitch

ch= chain

yo = yarn over

dec: 2dctog

Note: Make your slip knot as you normally would to start a project.

Insert hook into centre of hair tie and sl st yarn around it to attach it, ch3 (this counts as your first dc)

Do as many dc's as you like to make the headband as wide as you desire then stop or you can start with 10dc then increase every stitch on the next row until desired width

Row 1: dc10 into centre of hair elastic, ch3, turn

Row 2: Inc in every stitch across, ch3, turn

Row 3: *1 dc into every stitch across* repeat asterisks section until headband is the desired length, see note below, ch3, turn.

NB: Remember not to make it too long because the elastic hair band allows for a lot of stretch, and the stitches themselves will have a little give in them also

Row 4: Dec in each stitch along

Row 5: dc final row and incorporate other end of the hair elastic by yo, go into stitch & pull back to right side, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook, go into centre of hair elastic, yo, pull through final 2 loops on hook . Continue until you complete row. Ch1 at end, finish off as usual and sew in ends for a clean finish
