The next time you have a bad hair day just think of poor Rapunzel. Imagine what your hair would look like if some guy climbed up your hair every day in his big dirty boots. And with hair that long it would be such an ordeal to wash; I’m pretty sure she would have appreciated a nice headband.

This pattern is included in the digital version of my book Crochet Ever After. It is not included in the print version, but you can buy the digital headband pattern here.
