What type of yarn to use:  I recommend using stretchy sock yarn such as
Cotton Ease for headband.  You can use cotton, but remember cotton is not
stretchy and although the headband pattern is constructed to stretch, you will get
less stretch with cotton then sock yarn that has acrylic added to it.  For appliqués
I used 4 ply cotton but you can use any kind of medium weight yarn for these.

Hints

Changing colors

can be challenging because patterns do not include

instructions. However, it's not too difficult to master. In the last stitch of your first color,
stop before the last step. For example, if your stitch is a single crochet stitch, stop before
pulling the last loop through. Instead of yarning over with the original color, use the new
color, leaving a tail. Cut the original yarn color, leaving a tail again. Finish the stitch and
continue with the pattern. Once you have moved on with the pattern, you can weave the
ends into the fabric to hide them. Using this method creates a seamless color change.

Headband

Measure head size with measuring tape. I recommend a stretchy yarn here
such as sock yarn or any kind of yarn that has some stretch to it. If you are
using all cotton, go up 2 sizes because cotton does not stretch and it
shrinks when washed.

Sizes using sock yarn
Here is a chart for normal head sizes to estimate sizes (in case you don’t have
the ability to measure the head in person).
