Halloween Graph Headband
Halloween is just around the corner so I think it’s time for a spooky headband for all the little (and big) goblins! This is a very basic headband but it does use a graph and post stitches to achieve the look. Don’t fret, it’s easy if you take it step by step and I have a tutorial to help you read the graph if it’s your first time (or you want a refresher).
Click HERE for a tutorial on how to read the graph
The pattern includes two easy graphs one for a spooky (well not so spooky) bat and one for “Boo!”. The sizing ranges from toddler to Adult.

Pattern Instructions
- Work graph design in contrasting color; for color changes, work complete stitch in old color, pull in new color, pull tail of old color tightly.
