Crochet Projects: Warm Headband

Before it gets too warm outside (and yay, spring seems to finally be around the corner!), I better share a few more of the cold-weather accessories I made this winter. This headband has already seen a lot of use- it's perfect for quick walks or longer cross-country ski trips, especially to wear with a pony tail. The back is tapered so you can move your head around without the headband slipping too much.

This was my first attempt at creating my own pattern. Now as I sit to write it down, I realize that it might have been helpful to take notes along the way. Anyway, here is what I'm pretty sure I did. If you need clarifications, feel free to leave a comment!
