I started with a beginning chain of 81 as I crochet on the loose side. (I accidentally skipped a chain 3 somewhere, but I think the design is forgiving enough that it’s not noticeable.)

I love this pattern and it’s FREE! It creates a lightweight, yet warm, stylish headband. The design is unique. This pattern is very well written and easy to understand. A video link is included for crochet 4 together stitch. I rated this pattern medium as it may be a little difficult for beginners. I think it would rate easy for intermediate to advanced crocheters.
