What a collection! Im familiar with some of the patterns, but there are so many more that I hadnt seen yet. Everything from baby to adult patterns. Im especially excited about the various accessories. These will all be such a change from making winter hats. Most of them work up so quickly and with minimal supplies that theyre very cost effective for selling at craft fairs. I can see I need to set aside an hour or so just to properly explore this collection.

a fab collection of beginner patterns for headbands and hair accessories. There are some easy patterns to follow and lots of the tutorials have images with them so they are easy to make. Many of the headbands are really quick to make, use minimal yarn so are great for reducing that stash of leftovers from other projects and the majority are really easy to adapt to make for different head sizes. A great resource thank you.

It looks like the hair bow picture takes you to a crochet headband and accessories page. If you're looking for the bow project, it's listed as "Crocheted Hair Bows" under the "Other DIY Hair Accessories" heading on that page. Hope that helps!
