This is my latest headband. This was an attempt to improve on my other headband design The Braided Look Headband. Though it is definitely not an easy pattern, it will bring you a lot of satisfaction once you have pushed on and worked this through. This design has more texture creating a very prominent plait. Now there is no need to physically braid three strands. You can create this braid as you crochet your short rows.
