Intro

Florence Grace & Florence Rose ~ a couple of elegant and classic headbands for you & yours. They're great gifts for all the lovelies on your list!

Using the Tunisian Crochet technique, they work up quickly (approx 2-3 hours each).
Written for the advanced beginner, you will need to be familiar with basic Tunisian crochet stitches.
