HOW TO CROCHET EARRINGS

You will need:

• 2 pieces of metal thread (a little longer than the circumference you want)
• Cotton yarn, size 1/superfine 50 g = 160 m
  1,5 mm or 2 mm crochet hook
• 2 ear ear sticks
• Needle

MAKE THE METAL RING

Bend the metal thread to a circle and twist the ends around each other to secure.
Place the other metal thread over and twist it too while measuring with the other one to get the same size.

Take your yarn on the hook, stick through the metal ring, yarn over, pull through the circle, yarn over, pull through the two loops = single crochet.
Repeat this all the way around making single crochets around the metal thread until it is fully covered, you might want to pull the stitches a little to get them to cover more. Then finish with 1 ss in the first sc in the round, don’t break off the yarn.

HOW TO INSERT THE EARRING

Ch ,4, 1 ss in the last ss on the earring. Ch 1 and turn.
Make 6 sc into the ring, continue in the same direction.
Now you insert the ear stick through the ring, so the plate is visible. Pres it down while crocheting:
1 sc in the first sc, 1 dec sc over the next two stitches, 1 sc, break off the yarn.
Leave a long yarn end and put it through the stitch in the opposite side of your round.
Sew back and forth until the ear stick plate is not visible

Put the earring lock on the ear stick and repeat the same thing for the other earring.

HOW TO CROCHET HAIRBAND

For this crochet headband you will need:

• 1 plastic hairband
• Cotton yarn, size 1/superfine/sinfering, 50 g = 160 m.
• (I used two sizes because I needed to use up some scrap yarn, this created a different look and texture)
• 3 mm hook
• Needle

THE FIRST ROUND

Chain 11, or so you have enough stitches to wrap around the widest part of the headband.
Make sure to stretch the stitches.
Close with 1 ss in the 11th ch from the hook, ch 1.
Crochet 1 hdc in ever ch (so you have 10 stitches in total), finish with 1 ss in the first hdc, ch 1 and turn (turning ch)

TRY ON

Try on the circle on the headband to make sure it still fits, if not, unravel and make more or less stitches.

Crochet back and forth like this, 1 hdc in every stitch, connecting each row at the end with a ss so you crochet in rounds back and forth.
Make random stripes like me, make sure you change garn on the inner, wrong side of the work so they won’t be visible at the end.
Even it they are visible though, it is okay, the “seam” will be on the inside of the headband.

HOW TO CHANGE YARN COLOR

You change yarn in the last slip stitch on the row the following way: insert hook in the first hdc of the round, yarn over in new color, pull through. Pull in both yarn colors. Don’t break any yarn of during the processm just leave them hanging so youo can change between them.

TRY ON THE HAIRBAND

Throughout the process you can try it on over the hairband to see when it is long enough, make sure to pull the stitches, the rows need to reach from one end to the other.

When you are satisfied with the length break off the yarn and leave a long yarn end to sew the end together, min 30 cm.

HOW TO SEW THE ENDS TOGETHER

Put the hairband inside your crochet tube and make sure the “seam” where you connected the rows are on the inside of the headband, not on the outside.

Sew the end closed and wrap the remaining yarn around the end to tighten the crochet fabric, sew it again back and forth, up and down.

Do the same on the other side and then you are done.
