Headbands and Hair Bands

Headbands are so easy to crochet! They work up quickly, and they're handy to have around. In summer time, they'll help keep the hair off your face so you stay cool; in winter time, wide headbands can help keep you warm. Headbands make nice gifts for co-workers, friends and family.

Hair Bun Covers
Maybe there's a ballerina in your household, or perhaps you just want to dress up like one. Either way, a ballet bun cover or hair bun cover is a nice finishing touch to a ballerina-inspired ensemble.
