1. Chain 100 to Begin the Headband
   • Wrap the chain comfortably around your head, ensuring room to tie it at the ends.

2. Row 1: Double Crochet
   • Yarn over, skip the first chain, and insert the hook into the next chain.
   • Pull the loop through, yarn over, and pull through the first two loops.
   • Then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops. Repeat this process for each chain until the row is complete.
3. Rows 2-3: Continue with Double Crochets
   • To begin a new row, chain two, flip the project over, and start double crocheting into each stitch along the row.
   • Repeat this process for three rows to complete the headband base.
4. Finish the Headband
   • At the last double crochet, chain one and cut the yarn, leaving a tight knot to prevent unraveling.
   • Use a crochet needle to weave in loose ends neatly.
