I've made many ornaments for Christmas but did not get any pictures and instructions taken till after New Years. I hope I will remember to post them next year. However for the upcoming cold months I've created this ear warmer or headband crochet pattern.
This headband consists of 12 repetitions of a flower pattern that is 7 ch long, to make the headbangd bigger add equal numbers of ch to each end.

Pattern:
Ch 86, turn
Row 1: hdc across, turn.
Row 2: *dc, ch5, incomplete puff st 5th ch from hook, incomplete puff st in the next hdc st, skip 3 st work 1 incomplete puff stitch in next st, yo and draw through all loops on hook, ch5, work puff stitch in the top of previous puff stich, dc in next st* (12 times) finish with dc, turn.
Row 3: *dc, work puff st in the top of previous 4 puff st, ch 3, work puff st in the previous 5 puff st, dc*(12 times) finish with dc, turn.
Row 4: hds across, finish.
Stitch the ends together to form a headband!
