Four-Chain Headband



My Sister sent me a picture of a cute headband that she saw for $15 at the Pinner's Conference in Salt Lake City, and asked me if I could help her make it so she didn't have to buy them. Here is me helping her make it with a complete step by step. 

I then tested this on one of my girlfriends. She has never crocheted before so hopefully these steps are simple enough for everyone to DIY it!!!

(Please excuse this funny picture of me! I do not normally get dressed up so when I do I take a ton of funny selfies!) 






Materials:
Scissors
Crochet Hook I/9-5.5MM

Instructions:









Start by doing a slip stitch leaving about a 2 inch end.
