Slightly bend one end of the wire so stitches won’t slip off.

Make a slip knot as if you were going to begin a chain, then hold the wire opposite your crocheting hand with the bent end near the hook, put the hook under the wire and draw up a lp, yarn over and draw through 2 lps – one sc over the wire completed. Continue to crochet sc close together over the wire leaving last 1.5" free to attach to headband. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Referring to picture, bend covered wire into a circle shape; use first bent end to join circle; use last 1.5" to attach to headband.
