Part 1 Hairpin, Brooch and Earrings

Earring Leaf Connection Chart (Leaf A)

Note: For the earring leaves, first crochet 8 leaf A pieces separately and cut the yarn after each, leaving the last leaf A attached with the yarn still connected. Then connect the previously cut 8 leaf A pieces to this last one.

Part 2 Headband

Each hairband consists of 10 Flower A pieces, 10 Flower B pieces, 6 Leaf A pieces, and the straps. The flower panels are made by attaching Flower B on top of Flower A, centered at the front. Flower A starts with a magic ring and is crocheted in rounds counterclockwise. Except for the first flower panel which is worked normally, all other panels need to be joined as you crochet them. The straps are divided into Strap 1, Strap 2, Strap 3, and Strap 4. The techniques for Strap 1 and Strap 2 are similar. You start crocheting from Leaf A, and without cutting the yarn after finishing Leaf A, continue crocheting a chain stitch strip, then work along the joined flower panels to crochet the edging. After finishing, continue without cutting the yarn to crochet another chain stitch strip and Leaf A. Strap 3 and Strap 4 are made similarly as well. Start with Leaf A, and after finishing, continue without cutting the yarn to crochet a chain stitch strip, and finally sew it to the middle of the two end flower panels. Then, braid the two end straps into a 3-strand braid. For details, please refer to the video demonstration.

Note: Use  410#Medium Green  to crochet the leaves and the straps.
