First Crocheted Flower

I had a baby girl back in May and found that while we were out and about, strangers would complement me on my adorable boy.

HUH?!?! Even if she was dressed head to toe in pink with a pink blanket and pink toy on her carseat, people still assumed she was a boy. It was a heartbreaking for me, a new mom!

The assumption must have come about because she had very little hair and what she did have was very light. I thought that I could put something in her hair...oh right, no hair. On to plan B...headbands!

I ordered headbands in several colors and busied myself making things to adorn them. I first started out with a basic crocheted flower called an Irish rose, which I found here. Then I added the rosette found here with hot glue to make the center. I put it on the headband and I had created some girly flair! I have made these in several colors and just love how they look!

No one can mistake her for a boy with one of these on!
