A CUTE PUPPY-EARED HEADBAND

I had made a cute little puppy dog stuff toy / amigurumi sometime back. With the recent set of cute stuff toys with matching headbands, I was asked to make a headband for that puppy dog as well.

Pattern information

Check out my blog for the cute little puppy dog at https://shyamanivas.blogspot.in/2016/11/ridiculously-cute-puppy-toy-with-bone.html

For my headband, I used the ears from the puppy dog amigurumi.

Once done, I attached the monkey ears onto my headband.

Just to get everything looking cute, neat and in one colour, I first wrapped my (metal) headband with the white yarn.

You can either just wrap it (round and round without stitching – use a little glue every few inches to see that it sticks down well – and of course ensure you glue the ends down well)

OR you could work an sc around the headband with the yarn.

This will also help hold the little ears well.

Cute ain’t it?

If you decide you want to make the headband base, check out what I’ve done here https://shyamanivas.blogspot.com/2017/12/adorable-monkey-amigurumi-matching.html

Of course, a bit of satin ribbon will work well too.

Choices..decisions.. andlotsa creativity. Go for it and enjoy
