Why I record my crochet?

Life is passing by.

Each day, I find something interesting to crochet. 

Mostly a new stitch to try. 

As you know, I make lots of headbands for my YouTube channel. 

My guilty pleasure! Actually, headbands are a quick way to try out stitches. 

Even with a new stitch pattern, I will finish one in an hour or two. 

The problem with that is I have no use for headbands. They are just decorative pieces I keep in my box. 

I need to organize them by writing the pattern or the title of YouTube video, so I can remember how I made one later on. 

The channel itself was started to help me not to reinvent the wheel 

You know, when playing with yarn, some interesting things will happen. The look or the texture...

Maybe working on a scarf, and I change the pattern or stitches suddenly, and it becomes more fun. 

Later, when I see the scarf in my stash of scarves, I am like, how was it made... I will not have a clue. 

By deliberately recording the process and pattern, I can go back to see how I made that.

No need to remember everything, which is impossible.

How to make a textured headband in 30 minute?

Welcome back to another exciting crochet adventure! 

You have heard of Camel stitch, right? Not yet? But I am sure you heard about working on the 3rd loop so a half double crochet.

Half double crochet stitches are not as tall as double crochet stitches. The dc stitches are faster to crochet. So, I decided to experiment with that. Yes, there is a 3rd loop on the double crochet!!!

I tried it, and it worked! The modification made a stretchier headband. 

So, do you want to try it? I made a step-by-step video tutorial for you guys. Even if you are a beginner crocheter, you will find it easy to follow. Any questions? Ask me here or on the channel. 

Here is the video for you!

Are you going to try it using variegated yarn? Did I mention that you can even create a cowl or blanket with this pattern?

Boho Feather Stitch Crochet Headband

Feather stitch is very squishy and stretchy. It creates a reversible fabric. 

I used variegated yarn and pale yellow to create stripes with this stitch. 

The two different colours create a pattern, like colours dripping into the rows. 

I started with a foundation chain of multiples of 2+1. Some people use foundation hdc. 

I am changing the colours every two rows. It helped me to carry the yarn on one side and use it at the beginning of the third row. That is helpful if you don't like to weave in a lot of yarn tails. 

The edging is optional for this boho ear warmer.  I showed it anyway. 

The variegated yarn is  Red Heart Economy yarn. If you wish to buy the same yarn, it is available here. The colours are very eye-catching.
