Instructions:

Note: If you have never done this stitch, be sure to check out the video, where I walk you through step by step!

Also, because of the number of steps involved for this stitch, I've divided each step as a bullet point.

Ch 15 (multiple of 3)

Row 1: 

• Begin in the 5th chain from the hook.
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring up a loop (3 loops on the hook). 
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops on the hook (2 loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring up a loop from that same chain (4 loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loop on the hook (3 loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through all three loops.
• Chain 2
• Then working into that same chain, wrap yarn around hook, bring up a loop (three loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops (two loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and go back into the same chain and bring up a loop (4 loops on the hook).
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops (3 loops on the hook)
• Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through all three loops.
• Skip two chains and then repeat steps 2-12.
• Repeat across, working steps 2-12 until one chain remains.
• Work a dc into the last chain.

Row 2:

• Ch 3 and turn.
• Working into the chain 2 spaces from the previous row, repeat steps for the cluster v stitch from row 1 (instead of working into the chains, you'll work into the chain 2 spaces all the way across).
• To finish off the row, work a dc into the turning chain space.
• Repeat row 2 for desired height.  I worked mne until 20 inches long.

Finishing & Assembly:

• If you want cylinder shaped headband, simply seam across.
• For a twist in the headband, bring the ends together and fold ench end in half.  Place them together like two interlocking "C" shapes.
• Seam through all four layers and fasten off.
• Weave in any ends that remain.
• Turn headband right side out and it's ready to wear!
