From my own pattern
A friend of mine sent me an email with newsletter from You Can Make This. It mentioned that they were starting a Yarn Can Make This section, so she thought I might be interested. By registering at the site, I received a few free patterns, including a headband pattern of Ginger McCluer/Gingersnap Boutique that is allowed to be used to make products to sell. I had wanted to make some headbands, but really did not have an idea how big to make them, so having a sample pattern really helped.
From the original pattern
I started off with the basic pattern given, then added beads and flowers. I then branched off into making a couple patterns of my own. My girls immediately claimed a couple of the headbands, so I know kids like them (or at least three and six year olds do.)
