Everyone needs a bear headband, really!

I woke up yesterday and decided I wanted a brown headband with bear ears on it. That's a normal thought to have first thing in the morning, right? Anyway, the ears are based on what I learned from making the ears for a Stuffed Pooh. So here's the pattern I came up with in case anyone else has a bear headband need.



Bear Headband





Supplies:

-Acrylic worsted weight yarn (I think I used some of that Caron Wintuk stuff)
-G hook

Instructions:

Note: The ears are worked in spirals, that is you will be working in the round without joing rows.

Ears (make 2)

-ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook.

-2 sc in each sc.

-(inc. in next sc, sc in next sc) repeat for round.

-(inc. in next sc, sc in next 8sc) X 2

-work even for 2 rounds

-slip stich in next 3 stitches, sc in next 14 stitches, slip stitch in next 3 stitches.

-repeat last round

-Slip stitch in next 3 slip stiches, sc decrease, sc in next 10 stitches, slip stitch in the next 3 slip stitches, finish off.

Band

-Ch 12 (or you could chain more or less for a thicker or thinner band)
