Hi there! Someone left a comment on the original pattern that might be helpful. I'll paste it here: "no you don't do 10 chains(pattern directions are unclear here.) You just reconnect at the base where the othe side starts and continue with the same pattern. Once you get this side same lenth as the first,then you cross them and do a continuous row of stitches (row 12) across to connect them. Hope this helps. Just look at the picture." Here is the URL for the original project as well---feel free to read those comments and see if they are helpful! Good luck! http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2014/05/chunky-criss-cross-headband-crochet.html

I like the look of this. It appears to be fairly easy to do too. Thanks Dana B. for your message. I'll make sure to pay attention to that when I make my first one. I think these would make nice gifts for family and friends. It's cold during three seasons of the year here so they would come in very handy. A smaller hook should enable me to make some for children too.

What am I missing. If you chain 10 then 2 total 12. If you start in the 4 chain from hook you end up with 8 DC. Right?

Hi there! I looked at the Hopeful Honey blog comments on this pattern and this is what one person discovered: "I thought the same thing at first but then realized 9, 10, 11, 12 making the 9th chain the 4th from the 12th and the first one you double crochet in; and then you have to count the chain two as your first double crochet in each row. making 10 stitches for each row. Hope this helps. I almost quit before beginning because I had the same thought. Glad I didn't. It turned out beautifully!" I hope that helps! -Dana from FaveCrafts

This twist of fate headband is a great pattern for beginners. The pattern reads very easy and it will work up fast when using bulky weight yarn. The headband pattern would be good for a nice gift for that special person. Winter headbands are coming back and are cute for all age groups. Looks like a fun pattern to work up.

This is a cute pattern for a winter headband. I have an old one that I want to replace but it keeps,going to the back burner. Big hook and chunky yarn makes a for a fast project.

This is going to be perfect for my daughter and daughter in law. They are always asking me for something they can wear like a hat, which will keep their ears warm, but will not mess their hair. I think I just found the perfect solution for their problem, thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us.
