About Milla Billa’s Headband<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>I’ve never really been the type that wears headbands, as I have not been able to find one that I think, was just my style. As it has become really cold outside, and long walks have become a regular part of everyday life, I had to find a solution for the frozen ears, and therefore this “Milla Billa’s Headband” came on the drawing board.<\/p>\n
It is a simple and graphic zig-zag pattern, that I think, is super cute and nice to wear.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The chain is made as usual, as there is only 1 loop, but otherwise all stitches must be made in the back loop, so that the beautiful rib pattern emerges.<\/p>\n
The very last stitch in the rows, where you have to make 2 stitches in the same stitch, you make the first stitch in the back loop and the second stitch in both loops. So you avoid getting some slightly large holes in the edge.<\/p>\n

Since it is made in rib, it’s a bit elastic, so rather make it a bit tight than loose.<\/p>\n
Blocking<\/h4>\n
When you have the right length, insert a stitch marker and block it (see section below). When it is dry, crochet it together with slip stitches. Then you crochet edges with single crochet, where you make 1 sc per. row around the top and bottom edge of the headband. When finishing off the edges, feel free to use this technique to make it completely invisible.<\/a><\/p>\nCut the yarn, sew the end and sew on the “Handmade”-tag, and put your “Milla Billa’s Headband” on your cold ears \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

You can either block by dipping it in water, squeezing it gently dry and stretching it out on either blocking mats<\/a> or some towels with pins<\/a> \/ T-pins for blocking<\/a>.<\/p>\n
