Gauge:

Notes:
- Ch 2 at the beginning of dc rows does count as a stitch.
- Cable is worked using front post treble crochet (fptr).
Here’s how to do a front post treble crochet:
Yarn over three times (since it’s a treble crochet).
Insert your hook from the front to the back and around the post of the stitch you want to work into.
Yarn over again and pull up a loop, so you now have four loops on your hook.
Yarn over and pull through the first two loops (like a regular treble crochet).
Yarn over and pull through the next two loops.
Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops.
Sizing:
The final headband fits an adult size, approx. 20-23″ head circumference. The width measures 4″.
