Pattern Description
The Aisling hairband is a beginner friendly crochet pattern. These hairbands work up quickly and are fun to make. Each hair band will take less than an hour to create and they are a brilliant stash buster. You can use small leftover scraps for each circle, with as many colours as you like.
Make one to coordinate with a favourite outfit, make a little pile as party favours, or for market stall sales. (If planning on selling items made from this pattern, please take a moment to read my copyright information at the end.
