Rosette Pattern

Flowers are easy to make! I love creating different kinds of flowers because they are so fast and versatile. They can be perfect little additions to many of your knit or crochet designs including headbands, hats, baskets, bracelets, and blankets!

I tried searching Ravelry for the perfect little rosette flower to add to one of my headband patterns and couldn't find anything even remotely close to what I wanted. So the obvious solution was to make my own flower up!

So here it is. This flower will seriously think take you about 5 minutes- TOPS!

Flower Rosette Pattern

I used a size H hook for these.

Ch 15. Single crochet into 3rd chain from end. Skip 1. SC into next ch after skipped chain, ch 1, single chain back in ch just SC into. This will create a V stitch. do this to the end of the chain, ending with a final V-stitch in the last ch on the row.

If you did this correctly, the chain will be all curled up now. I have used both hot glue and a darning needle and extra yarn to attach these to things. Whatever works best for you! So experiment and find out!

Oatmeal Colored Flowered Headband

Below are pictures of the Oatmeal Colored Headband in progress. This is the same headband that I have currently listed on Ebay. Here is the Pattern for the Flowered Headband. Enjoy :)

Black Flower Headband

Here are pictures of my sister wearing the black flower headband I made for her. Since she lives in Chicago and I don't often see her I had to give it to her while we were both in Florida for a family vacation. Being in Florida should explain the background of palm trees, but shouldn't explain the fleece she is wearing. Sadly it was quite cold the whole weekend she was down there. We kept joking that she should wear her new earwarmer to keep her warm!

I have a black one for sale at my etsy store and an oatmeal colored one on ebay! Check them out.

Black Flower Headband

I made this black flower headband for my sister Valerie as part of her birthday present. The pattern that I created for this headband can be found in a previous post (linked above).

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.
