I’m having trouble with row 2 where it where it says “chain 1, sc in loop, chain 3, sc in next loop.” Do you mean only one single crochet in each loop? When I put only one in each loop, it makes that side very short and drawn up.
Heidi, yes it’s supposed to be only one sc in each loop. Are your chains maybe tighter than the starting chains?.. because that might be the problem. I will try and take a look at the pattern tomorrow and see if there’s an error or something. Thanks so much for your patience.
Confused as to what it means by string. Do you just mean a different color? Or something that’s not yarn? Thank you.
The string is used to tie the headband at the back. Basically with same yarn, you make a number of chains (as many as you want to get the length you need for tying), then single crochet into the chains for a durable tie-string.
