Crochet Hook: 5.5mm [US I-9].
Yarn needle, approximately 20" of craft wire, plastic headband.

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.
