Pattern: Crochet Keyhole Border Flower Headband

*** This pattern is intended for personal use only, please. You can not sell items created from this pattern or sell the pattern itself***

Materials needed:
Worsted weight yarn of any color 
     *I used Sugar n Cream in this pattern only for the color (mod green)
Size I/5.5 mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Scissors

Fits:
Size 22-23" circumference

Stitches used:
ch= chain
sc= single crochet
dc= double crochet
sc dec= pull up a loop in next 2 st, yarn over, pull though all 3 loops on hook
sl st= slip stitch
st= stitch

*note: there is not a button hole in this pattern as I prefer to just use the spaces between the double crochets to slip the button through

Band:
ch 7 then...
1. sc in 2nd st from hook and in each st across (6 sc)
2. ch1, turn, ch2 (counts as a dc here and throughout the band) dc in 2nd st from hook and across (6 dc total)
3. ch1, turn, 2sc in 1st st from hook, sc in next 4 st, 2sc in last st (8 sc)
4. ch1, turn, ch2, dc in 2nd st from hook and across (8 dc)
5. ch1, turn, sc in each st across (8 sc)
6. Repeat row 4 (8 dc)
7. ch1, turn, 2sc in 1st st from hook, sc in next 6 st, 2sc in last st (10 sc)
8. ch1, turn, ch2, dc in 2nd st from hook and across (10 dc)
9. ch1, turn, sc in each st across (10 sc)
10-32. Repeat alternating rows 8 & 9 (starting with row 8)
33. ch1, turn, sc dec in 1st and 2nd st from hook, sc in next 6 st, sc dec in last 2 st (8 sc)
34. ch1, turn, ch2, dc in 2nd st from hook and across (8 dc)
35. ch1, turn, sc in each st across (8 sc)
36. Repeat row 34
37. ch1, turn, sc dec in 1st and 2nd st from hook, sc in next 4 st, sc dec in last 2 st (6 sc)
38. ch1, turn, ch2, dc in 2nd st from hook and across (6 dc)
39. ch1, turn, sc in each st across (6 sc)

After finishing row 39, continue around the outside of the band working in this pattern:
2 sc around each outer dc (whole post), 1 sc around each outer sc (whole post)

...starting with 2 sc in the first outer dc. Work around the side of the band until you get to your foundation chain. Sc in each of the loops of your foundation chain (6 sc) and then continue on in the regular pattern up the other side of the band. You should end up with 120 total sc around the band NOT counting row 39. Fasten off. Attach a button to one end.

Flower:
I actually used this crochet flower pattern but only up through row 5 because the flower was getting quite large. I attached swarovski rhinestones to the middle with E6000.
