This looks adorable for my 11 yr old granddaughter. However..I'm not clear on the sewing the elastic. It sounds like you sew it together and then sew on the elastic. What am I missing?
I am unable to print the directions. It just prints "Donna's Crochet Designs Blog of Free Patterns"
I've never tried to print anything off my blog so I can't really answer your question there, sorry.
As for the elastic. You have crochet the headband. You will have the sequin covered front piece and the plain back piece. You take the elastic and sew one end to just the end of the sequin front part. You will then have a headband with a line of elastic across its center.
The plain crochet part is then folded over the elastic and sewn close to encase the elastic. You will have the bunch the plain crochet part in order to sew it entirely across the elastic and finishing the headband.
It is the covered elastic that allows the headband to fit snuggly around the head.
I hope this answers your question,
Donna
