Wild and Brave Crochet Headband with SEAMLESS Motifs FREE Pattern & Video

Wild and Brave Crochet Headband with SEAMLESS Motifs FREE Pattern & Video
by Kristin Omdahl

In this pattern and video you will learn how to join these motifs in the traditional join-as-you-go method and then learn the seamless motif join-as-you-go method. It is a wonderful technique to learn because you don’t have to cut yarn between the motifs. Not only is it fun but you don’t have all those ends to weave in at the end. Scroll to the bottom of this free pattern page to watch the close-up and detailed step by step video tutorial.
