multiple size sunflower seed headband Archives

I love combining crochet stitches that I have previously used! In the Sunflower Seed Headband Crochet Pattern, uses 2 of my previous crochet patterns and combined them together. The Sunflower Seed Headband Crochet Pattern is a combination of 2 of my crochet patterns, the Sunflower Applique crochet pattern and the Seed Stitch Head Scarf crochet pattern.

The Seed Stitch is a very simple stitch. The Seed Stitch creates a nice tight stitch that has a great texture. It uses double crochet and single crochet. That’s all you need to know for this easy crochet stitch and pattern.

You can find both of the Sunflower Applique crochet pattern and the Seed Stitch Head Scarf crochet pattern free on my website.
