Since I managed to successfully crochet a granny square, I decided to try using the same method to crochet a headband
Using the crochet & stitch on the go method I found from youtube, managed to stitch 2 granny squares as I go along

From the youtube tutorial, it's supposed to be 8 squares but I do it with 9 squares & shorter tying string and I successfully crochet my first headband!



Test fit and I think it looks quite nice, a little retro! Maybe I should make another one, but with a slightly thinner width.






Thus, she draw up a "manual" for me!
She keeps telling me to start with 6 stitches & increases to 12 but somehow, it turn out like this 😓
Then it curl up on nxt try
Some where there but the square doesn't seem to form
So I went to look at the stitches on the bag she gave me. Then I realized that something is wrong. She keeps telling me to start with 6 stitches & increase to 12 but this starts with 12!
After watching a youtube video & rewatching the same video a couple of times, I finally managed to figure out how to get a granny square done!
And I tried using 2 different colors & tadaa~~ my first crochet granny square! #slowlearner 😅 with a little achievement! Now I can slowly think of what to do 😂
Bought some lobster hooks from Shopee.
But turned out to be too big & the hook is quite difficult to attach
Crochet it directly onto the hook & work my way up.
Added some black onto it but somehow, I find the black part too thick.
So I reduce the black color portion.
But oops, I didn't measure it properly & end up being a little too long for the black bags that I wanna use it on.

Maybe I'll do a shorter one next time when I have the mood.
1st set of 1 row of sc & 2 rows of dc

Stitching it up
Looking a bit plain
So I add my name onto it.
Here it goes ... .. customized crochet cup cozy. Using tumbler to test it out.
But sadly, it doesn't fit the cup at work cos it's of a different shape. Need to do another one that fits this cup shape.
Evelyn says she's into purple these days, so I work with both the purple I have, and using a smaller band.

Completed, but somehow feels that this looks more blue than purple
Another purple yarn I had

For this I only do it with a row of double crochet instead of the usual dc & sc.
2 different sizes
