Crochet Tutorial: Destiny Headband

Crochet Tutorial: Destiny Headband

If you are following me on my blog or any social media, you will recall that I released my Link to the Past Phrygian Cap last week as Part One of the Halloween cosplay costume designs that I am creating for Nate and myself.

Today, Part Two of the costume set, is this Destiny Headband. This is a bit of a tedious process using thin thread and crocheting around wire, but the results are worth the efforts! Continue to stay tuned to more great patterns along the way to complete one or both of my costume series!

Not into the costume idea? Make a headband with just leaves! You could also use the leaf applique separately for flowers or anywhere you would need to add a decorative embellishment.

Crochet Tutorial: Simple Chunky Boot Cuffs

Boot cuffs are a great accessory to dress up not only a pair of boots but with jeans or a skirt, it is a great accent! This tutorial covers how to make a pair of simple chunky boot cuffs that are perfect for anyone! I used less than one skein of Lion Brand yarn (Super Bulky) with a N-9.00mm crochet hook. Feel free to use any chunky brand of yarn that is equivalent and it will work the same!

Simple Chunky Boot Cuffs

I share how to make these using measurements so if you want to make them smaller for a child or a teen or bigger for a larger calf you can do so by adding or reducing Foundation Double Crochets on your first round.

When people see these, they express how difficult they look to make, but honestly, these are so simple. It takes less than a couple hours to finish!

These make great gifts for the holidays, birthdays, or any special occasion! They are fun to make and fun to wear!

Follow along with this video to make your very own boot cuffs!

 

This pattern was inspired by a free pattern I found online by Fiber Flux. I modified the pattern a little bit to make it more my own, but it is very close to this pattern.
