This is a broomstick lace headband I made. I used the broomstick lace tutorial from here, and just kind of incorporated it into a headband design. I was going to try to put a headband a day on here, but I have been slack. I hope to try to do better soon.
I’m in the middle of crocheting Rob a afghan for his Massage Therapy Certificate on the 29th. I hope to have it done by then, so I haven’t been crocheting much of anything else. I’ll post some progress pictures on that, soon.

If you like this head/dreadband, you can find the pattern here. The pattern is free and works up super fast. I’ve made two of these already.
