Today’s I am sharing with you my Acacia Headband Free Crochet Pattern. Each year it seems like I learn a new stitch and fall in love with it so much that I design multiple crochet patterns using that stitch. The Acacia Headband uses the wattle stitch that I recently fell in love with.

Acacia Headband Crochet Pattern
I have used it to design a beanie, a cowl, a skirt, a clutch and now a headband. Of course I have a couple more in the works. 🙂
If you would like to purchase the Ad-Free Premium crochet pattern with multiple sizes, 0-3 mths to Adult Large, you can get it at my Ravelry Store.

Closing instructions:
With RS facing RS, match together the sc row to the fsc row, sew together the side of the headband using the running stitch or whichever stitch you prefer.
I hope you loved using the Wattle Stitch while making this headband as much as I did!
In today’s post I’d like to share with you the Ribbon Ear Warmers Free Crochet Pattern. It is called Ribbon because the ear warmers design used a version of the Rib Stitch or Waffle Stitch.

You can find my Ribbon Ear Warmers in the Crochet Flower Roundup. You can find crocheted flowers from 10 other crochet designers on my website. You will find either free or paid patterns from these 10 designers. Click on the image below and you will be directed to the Crochet Flower Roundup!
