Ridged Ties Headband

Headband is worked lengthwise, so if you want to make it shorter or longer adjust

the number of starting chains. Every 3 chains will equal appr. 1" or 2.5cm

*Start Pattern*

I use 2 colors, but you can use as many or few as you would like. To make the
color pattern pictured in this pattern, I refer to Color A and Color B.

_____________________________________________________________________

Changing colors



To Change Colors:
*Because you are going to change colors every other row in this pattern, it is essential that you
know how to change colors. Here are my directions:
Work last stitch in row to last step (before you yoh and pull yarn through loops), drop unused
color to wrong side (you will pick up the dropped color yarn in the row after the next); with new
color, yarn over hook and pull through 2 loops on hook.
