Notions:

Yarn Needle

• Manufacturer’s website lists Art. 2029 Rayon Super Petal Spun as worsted wt., however in this pattern it is worked at a tighter gauge on a smaller hook.
• Headband is worked flat back and forth in rows from narrow end at center back. Shaping is achieved by increases/decreases along edges. Piece is joined in a circle with whipstitch seam. Picot finish is worked along both edges.
• There is no right or wrong side to this pattern. The lace pattern repeats over three rows, so right and wrong side rows will alternate over the three-row repeat, producing a stitch pattern that looks the same on both sides.
