Knit Flower Headband

**UPDATE: click here for google doc of pattern**

I was looking for a fun option of headgear for the winter months. After seeing a few cute things at different stores I decided upon a

knit headband with a crochet or knit flower attachment. I found a few patterns online but after making them I decided it might just be best to write my own pattern to tailor my exact wants and needs.

I saw this in a store and decided I wanted to make something that looked similar to this.

This is what I came up with.

You can make this headband with or without the attached flower or even attach something else! I have thought about large jewels or maybe a butterfly for a young girl.
