Remember my covered then crocheted buttons? Look how cute they are on a hemp wrapped headband with a little free motion flower!
Tutorial:
First I need to tell you that after I posted these directions for the crocheted button snood, I received an email from a friend that offered a few adjustments to my directions. She promptly wrote the new improved pattern for the blue button that you see above. Thank you Diana, I really appreciate it!
Crochet button snood pattern:
Ch 6; join with slip stitch in first chain to form a ring
Rnd 1: ch 2 (counts as dc), work 13 dc in ring, join with slip st in top
of first dc. (14dc)
Rnd 2: ch 2 (counts as dc), dc in st at base of ch 2, *ch 2 , skip next st,
2 dc in next st, ch 2; repeat from * 6 more times; join with sl st
at top of beginning of ch-2 (14dc).
Rnd 3: ch 5 (counts as 1 dc plus ch 3), *skip 3 then dc in next st, skip 3.
repeat from * 6 more times, join with sl st in 3rd chain of beginning
ch-5.
Gather a few narrow headbands.
Put a little bit of glue on the inside of the headband and wrap the hemp.
Cut a strip of muslin and batting that measures 2 1/2" x 9" and free motion stitch in a scallop pattern and cut out. Then run a basting stitch across the straight edge and cinch up and knot.
Sew back and forth securing the center of the flower.
And now stitch the flower around the headband.
Next, stitch the button to the center of the flower ...
And you are done!
Easy Peasy!
These would be great for SEW too. Love, love!

You are welcome! I just hope my adjustments don't need any adjustments! :-) And you've done it again....with all this cuteness. Such great ideas!

Is the batting the back of the flower or is it sandwiched in between two pieces of muslin?

Good stuff as per usual, thanks. I do hope this kind of thing gets more exposure.
