This pattern was created to make a headband for a friend of mine, so I thought I'd share. If you run into any errors or need anything explained, feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them as best I can in the comments. I wrote it down pretty quickly, so I may have missed a step or two. Just let me know :)

Wrap around head to find where button placement should be. Sew on button of your choice, weave in ends, and you're good to go!
I like this headband because you can use the button area to display a really cool button you've found and wear it on the side of your head as more of a decoration - OR you can wear the button in back like a regular headband for a simpler look, but decorative enough from all the hdc ridges that you look a bit fancier :)
Hope you're all staying safe in this crazy barrage of awful weather we keep getting (it's been at least twice a week for the past month that we get hit). Tonight's supposed to bring 2" of ice, so that's fun!
