Crochet Basic Hairband Pattern

First Strap: Make a slipknot, ch45+2

Tip: Tighten your 45th chain to minimize the hole from Row 1.

Note: Do fewer chains in your foundation for a shorter strap or do more chains for a longer strap. This will be the length from your ear to the nape of your neck, plus the length needed to tie a knot.
