Round 5: Ch 1, sc in each st around, aim for 3 sc in each ch 3 sp. 64 sc. Fasten off.

Joining the squares together

• Mark the edges with stitch markers.

• Use a crochet hook and a single crochet to connect the sides of the squares.

Finishing: Joining the squares together.

Step 1: Arrange the squares next to each other.

Step 2: Using your crochet hook and CC, join the squares together using a single crochet stitch over both sides; continue until you have joined the sides of the arranged squares together. All joining should be on the right side and across the 4 loops – 2 loops on each of the squares. This gives a beautiful “braid”. 

Step 3: Gently fold the square into two to have the 4th square next to the 1st square. Join the sides of the remaining two squares left to the joined squares.

Step 4: Join CC with a sl st to any st on the headband opening. 

Edging

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in each st around the top edge, join with a sl st to the beginning ch.

Row 2: Ch 1, sl st in each st around, join with a sl st to the beginning ch.

Repeat on the other opening.
