I used to have a booth in a local shop and these little bags and matching headbands sold out quickly. They can be used for so many things for a variety of people, plus the “headbands” are cute wrapped around jars, packages, and other decorations. I have also had people use them as bookmarks.

I love creating patterns that have lots of options and I have always loved interchangeable things ever since I had these super cool tennis shoes in elementary school that had velcro pieces you could change. lol. So these flowers are designed to slip over the button. You can sell/give these with one flower or include a few so they can change them to match outfits.

Large Band Flower

1. With a J hook and same yarn as band (or different is desired), ch 5 and join to form a circle (or do a

magic loop of 5). Pull snug to close hole.

2. 2 hdc in each st, sl st to first sc (10 sts).

3. In first st, *Ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, then sl st in next st*. Repeat until 5 petals are made.

To attach flower to band:

Lay band out on a flat surface, wrong side up and make sure it is not twisted. Slide flower, wrong side up, underneath band at the half way mark (or off to one side if desired. Remember, the band can be tied anywhere so the flower can be positioned in different places on the head). Evenly space the bands on the outer edges of the flower. At this point, I like to pin the strands to the flower to make sure they don’t slip around while I stitch them together. Using a needle and thread or matching yarn, sew the flower to the bands.

Flip over and sew the button in the center of the flower.

Button-on flower

1. With an H hook and yarn, ch 5, join to form a circle. Do not pull end to close circle.

2. Sc 10 in circle, sl st to first sc (10 sts).

Note: For a smaller flower, omit step #1 and work petals right into beginning circle. (yellow flower in picture)
