Progress of the Handmade Crochet Daisy Chain Headbands

I have made progress on my initial Daisy Chain Headband by adding a green fastening with leaves that you can simply tie where feels most comfortable at the back of your head, you can see this version pictured below.



Since completing this version I have made a slight alternate version of the Daisy Chain Headband that I thought would make a more balanced look to the design. I did this by adding a green crochet 'stem' in between each daisy motif. You can see the finished Version 2 pictured below.


I am very happy with the alterations made to this design :) so I will certainly be making up more of the Version 2 headbands.

Keep a look out on my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeonaCurtis if you are interested in purchasing one of these. 

Lets hope that Indian Summer hits us hard next month! :)

Try-out for a Handmade Crochet Daisy Chain Headband

Even though the weather has turned a bit nippy recently it's still the summer!! and festival season is still a'happening :)

I have been wanting to try out designing & making a summery headband that would be a suitable accessory for a festival/beach/summer occasion, and have come up with the idea of a daisy chain headband. 

I have made an initial start on the headband which you can see pictured below :)


Now I have joined the Daisy motifs together I have the idea to crochet a green fastening on each side with small crochet leaves to enhance the summer/festival vibe. 
I will post an image of the finished product once complete.

Handmade Crochet Choker Necklaces

For the festival season this summer I thought to have a go at designing and making a crochet choker necklace with a charm attachment. 

This would be a perfect boho/hippy vibe accessory thats fit for a festival event or to enhance a more alternative look.

I chose to develop a White and Black Cotton crochet chocker pattern and have attached a small charm attachment of either a Circular Swirl or an Angel charm.

Please see below the finished products I have so far developed. These are now up for sale on my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LeonaCurtis

These have been fun to create and I will surely be making more of these with different charm attachments...so keep a look out.  :)
