my first set of headbands

The first thing I did to start crocheting headbands was to look for patterns from the net. It was easy to search but very hard to choose since there are so many patterns available! At first I copied the patterns I like but later I mananged to come up with my own :). Here is the album of my first set of crocheted headbands.

This is the very first headband I crocheted. Thanks to Ms. Alicia Infanti who provided the pattern here: http://sockmonkeyrescue.org/headband.html

This one is my very own design! When Catet and Kon saw me crocheting they requested for their own headband. They chose their own colors and I made them the headbands right then and there! It is wide and it looks like a bandana when worn. I also made a smaller version of it. I think this headband is really great for summer! :)

This one is a shell pattern headband. It's the first garterized headband I've made and the only headband that I used for myself. :)

This is one of my favorites. I was saw the pattern here http://flickr.com/photos/57231735@N00/749559771 ans was inspired so I figured out the pattern myself and made a headband out of it. It is more complicated and takes longer time to finish than the others, but the texture was just great!
