This is a tutorial for a crocheted headband.

Last week, while I was in Friday Harbor, my friend Angela watched my kids for several days–the ship was out and James gone with it. I wanted to make Angela a little something as a thank you, and since she is going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks to watch the olympics, I was inspired by the traditional art of Northwest Coast Indians which often uses black, red and white. (Of course, my crocheted headband is also a nod to the Dale of Norway “Team Norway” sweater which uses the same colors. Were they inspired by the traditional northwest art as well?)
