Recently I've been quite the busy little bumblebee, making a variety of different gifts for all my lovely friends and family. So far I've crocheted a couple of cowls, a few headbands and even made a pair of earrings!
In fact, this headband below is the latest DIY gift I've given away. It was created especially for a friend of mine that continuously inspires me to be more creative with her stunning sketches and astounding artwork!
What are some of your favourite gifts to create?

Have a lovely day crocheting,
Followed instructions to the letter and tried several times and mine came out nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue. I think it's row 5 that's critical. When you get to row 5, you go into the back posts -- you have to do the outside three that angle to the left first, then go under and pick up the 3 in the back. If you try working the stitches right to left it isn't right.
