Crocheting a hair band for myself 🌹❤️‍🩹

Hello beautiful people of this community ❤️
It's been a long while
I missed here a lot
Hope you're all faring well🥰

I'm thrilled to share with you all today the steps i used in making this pretty and simple hairband for myself

Actually, i made this hairband with an intention on covering my rough hair. My hair's a bit old and due to the cost of braiding another one , i have refused to loosen it and then ive been thinking of what to do to reduce the obviousness of the rough part till i got an advice from a friend that i should use a hair band which will make it much prettier and i thought it to be a nice idea so i decided to crotchet a hair band for myself for now and maybe within few days i could purchase it from the market or better still, crotchet more with different colours

Luckily for me , i had a blue wool at home and i fancied blue colour too so i choosed to make it with the blue wool.
The hair band making was quite simple let's see how it went...

Here are the materials i used in making it

• Blue wool
• Knitting pin
• Scissors ✂️ ✂️ ✂️
• Measuring tape
• Elastic

And these are the steps i used in making it :
I used my left hand to tie quite a size of wool round it and the remained the tip I'll be working with

I then picked up my knitting pin and started working with it, i knitted 15 chains with the wool and this was because i was going to work with the distance of 3 chains for a hole

Now i made a single crochet into the third chain started from where the knitting pin was already at

After then, i made three chains so that it will aid holes in the hair band

After which i skipped two chains and inserted my knitting pin into the third chain and knitted a single crotchet

At this point, my holes started showing and again i made three chains with my wool

After making 3 chains , i skipped two of the chains in the previous row and then inserted my knitting pin in the third row and did a single crotchet

I continued that way till i got to the last three on that row

I then turned my wool so that i could knit backwards and then did three chains

I had holes filled in the hair band already so i started working with the holes instead.
After i had made three chains, i inserted it in the closest hole and did a single crotchet

I then made another three chains and inserted it in the next hole

I continued till i fillled the holes till the end

And then i moved to the next row by turning the knitted wool and continued with making three chains

I inserted it in the hole that was next

That was the same thing till i completed that row ...
I kept making row by row, knitting inside holes and using three chains to create new holes , with these steps i got to this point

I kept on knitting, although i almost got tired but since i knew what it was meant for, i kept pushing till i completed the size of the forehead.

I then moved onto using elastic.
I cut my elastic to about 7 inches long

I then placed it on the edges of the knitted wool and then used my sewing machine to sew the two edges together

That is how i got to the completion of the headband 💜
It turned out to be as pretty as i wished

And it looked more better when i wore it, i even got compliments from my siblings and i was glad i was able to make something for my hair

I'm looking forward to doing more with different colours, at least i can carry my hair longer than planned❤️‍🔥
