Pattern Description:

Short hair or long will look great in this extra wide, lacy, crocheted headband. Fastens with a wooden Dill button with leaf pattern in back. Pretty any time of year, but sure to keep you warm when the weather is cold.

This Star Stitch or Marguerite Stitch (smaller stars at the sides and larger in the middle to shape the headband) is a beautiful addition to any crochet library. It can be used for shawls and sweaters or as a panel stitch for purses and hats. A short tutorial with photos takes you step by step to master this stitch.

Also, many of my customers who have not used the Star Stitch before have found this video helpful: Crochet Geek - Crochet Star Stitch:

It is a little different version (there are many versions) - but still the basic stitch used in the pattern.
