Eyelash hair elastic

So I got some eyelash yarn and I wondered what to do with it - I wanted some small project just to test it first. So I got some of my daughters hair elastics, crochet around and here is the result (see the pattern details below).

This pattern uses US crochet terms.

Yarn: Eyelash yarn of your choice
Hook size: Hook one size bigger than suggested for the yarn. I used hook size 4mm

Stitches used: sc and ch

Pattern:

Make a knot around the hair elastic. 

Ch 1, sc in the center of the elastic.

Repeat the following pattern * ch 2, sc in the center * till the elastic is fully covered.

End with ss in the first st. The chains 2 between scs will allow the elastic to stretch as usual and will make the elastic even more fuzzy.

Easy Textured Headband

Don't lose this pattern - add it to Ravelry queue

I like making easy headbands with texture. However sometimes the yarn is too stretchy, sometimes it is not stretchy at all, or the person you are making the headband for is not there or it is just a gift.

This is why I normally put buttons or ribbing. This way you know the headband will fit so you can make some of them for gifts :)

The headband pattern I'm posting is simple, yet has nice texture and 2 big buttons. I also used chunky yarn, so the whole headband is worked up very fast.

The yarn used is Eskimo from Garn Studio with hook size 9mm (US M).

Yarn: Eskimo from Garn Studio 
Hook size: 9 mm/M (hook size conversion chart)

Stitches used: sc, dc

Finished size: Adult

Special stitch - the special combination of stitches that makes this amazing texture is very simple - one sc, followed by two dc. 

Gauge: The gauge is not so important here as you can always add more rows or more chains (if you want to make it wider). In my case 4 special st are 10.5cm/4 in wide.

Finished item is around 10.5cm/4in wide, 53cm/20.5in long

Pattern

Start with foundation chain ot sc - chain 13 st (or any row of a multiple of 3 chains + 1).

If you don't know how to do foundation chain you can check this tutorial here.

Or simply chain 12 + 2, sc in second ch from hook till the end

Row 1 - 5:

Ch1, sc in the same stitch, 1 sc in every st till the end, turn (13st)

This is the button part and it should be 3-4cm (1.5in) wide

Row 6:

Ch 2, 2 dc in same st, *skip 2, in next stitch make sc and 2 dc*

Repeat from * to the end of row ending with 1 sc in the last st. Turn.

Repeat Row 6 till desired lenght is reached (you will add 3-4 cm/1.5in more with the button hole part).

I made it around 50cm/20 in long.

Button hole part:

Row 1- 3: ch1, sc in the same st and in every st till the end (13 sc)

Row 4: ch1, sc in the same st, sc in next st, ch 2, skip 2sc, sc in next 5 st, ch2, 1 sc in last two st

Row 5: ch1, sc in the same st, sc in next st, 2 sc in ch2 sp, sc in next 5 st, 2 sc in ch2 sp, sc in last two st

Row 6: ch1, sc in the same st and in every st till the end (13 sc)

Sew up 2 buttons with suitable size, enjoy!

You can wear it with buttons up, or hide them behind the hair :)

You can make a matching scarf too - just follow the same pattern.
