🎀 How To Make This Headband:

1. Start with a Simple Band:
   Crochet a flat strip long enough to wrap around a newborn’s head (about 33–35 cm).

2. Sew It into a Loop:
   Join the short ends of the band together with a yarn needle. This will sit around the baby’s head.

3. Add a Mini Bow Effect:
   Crochet a small rectangle, wrap it around the seam, and stitch together. This gives the headband a cute central bow.

4. Finish Cleanly:
   Weave in yarn ends neatly and stretch the headband lightly for shape.

5. Style Ready:
   Great for gifts or photos — super soft and gentle on newborn skin.
