This video tutorial will cover all the necessary techniques to make this pattern, providing step-by-step instructions. If You're new to lace-making, don't worry!

2. Materials and Tools

Before we begin, let's Gather all the materials and tools we'll need for this project. Here's a list of items you'll need:

• Bobbins
• Thread
• Pins
• Headband base
• Ribbon (optional)

Make sure you have everything ready before starting the project. Now, let's move on to the next step.

3. Getting Started

To start the headband, we will place six pairs of bobbins in the first point. This will ensure that the end of the headband matches the beginning. Begin by doing a cross twist cross drawing from right to left. Continue by doing a braid with the three pairs on the left. Add a pair of bobbins after each Pin, and close the pin.

4. Creating the Flower Petals

Now, it's time to create the flower! For each petal, you will need four pairs of bobbins. Begin by determining which bobbin you will use, either the left center or the right center. Start with a cross twist twist cross, and pull. For more detailed instructions on creating the leaf, refer to the provided link.

Continue creating the petals on both the left and right sides, following the same cross twist twist cross technique. Hang the bobbins on the opposite side of the center, and make sure each petal reaches the border. Place pins to secure the petals.

5. Adding Leaves to the Flower

To complete the flower, we will add leaves on both sides. Use the same technique as before, starting with a full stitch and placing a pin at the top border of the drawing. Begin the leaf with a cross twist twist cross twist twist cross pull. Repeat this process for the leaves on both sides.

6. Creating the Fan Stitch

The next step is to create the fan stitch. Start with the third pair of bobbins and do a full stitch. Place pins along the way. Close the pin with a full stitch, and continue with a twist cross twist cross twist cross. Repeat this process for each fan, including both the left and right sides.

7. Finishing the Headband

Now it's time to finish the headband. Remove bobbins one by one in a secure manner. To do this, braid and remove the bobbins one at a time. Cross twist cross to secure the edges, and remove the outside bobbin. Repeat this process for both the left and right sides of the headband.

8. Decorating with Ribbon

To add a decorative touch, you can cover the knots on the headband with a ribbon. This allows for easy customization by changing the ribbon color as desired. If you choose to add ribbon, make sure to tie it securely.

9. Tips and Tricks

• Practice the techniques before starting the actual project.
• Take your time and be patient. Lace-making requires precision.
• Keep your bobbins organized to avoid tangles.
• Use good quality materials for a better result.
