    Hi, I’m been frequenting you website for a few weeks now and just love it. Even though I know a lot about crocheting I find you how to articles well written. When I saw this headband I knew I had to make it. However, I discovered one typo and have a question about one part of the pattern.

    Typo: On the strap instructions row 5 should say dc in next 2 not 4.

    Question: On the main part of the headband for row 4 I’m unsure about where I was to get the last ch-2 space? I just used the ch-3 space. Was I missing something?

    Thanks for all the great patterns. I can’t wait to see what the store has to offer and I’d certainly be happy to help test patterns if you need it.

  7. Rachel says:

    Thanks for finding the typo Liz! The ch-2 was suppose to be ch-3 also. You would make a great tester 🙂

    Hi Rachel,

    I’ve been viewing your patterns lately and must say I find them very unique. While I’ve been crocheting for years I find sometimes I would like to do a pattern but not with any difficult stitches. You seem to create patterns that at a glance might look difficult but is pretty easy to do. I will try out this pattern.

    Thanks for sharing.
