Bubbly Blossoms Baby Headband

A floral tie-back headband that's perfect for Spring!



When challenged by Hobbii Yarns to design a wearable item inspired by the flowers of Spring, I couldn't help but create a floral baby headband! I hope that this pattern inspires you to crochet some floral headbands for a NICU near you this Spring.

This pattern is written for newborn-sized headband, but you can easily adjust the circumference by adjusting the length of the base chain! I've embellished my bubble headbands with little baby's breath-inspired flowers and leaves, but the embellishment possibilites are endless. Add a flower of your own, some butterflies, or even leave the headband on its own :)


Happy crocheting!
