I have had a lot of customers come in and ask for a pattern for a head band - it seems these headbands are being sold in NYC boutique shops for at least $20 a pop.  So, I finally sat down and put together a pattern and I thought I would share the pattern with you. The first one I made out of Cascade 220, the flower was knit in Jamieson's DK Shetland wool.  The secnd headband is made out of Knit One, Crochet Too's Ty Dy. The third is out of Cascade Nikki.I used a Size 10 needle for that one.  Like potato chips -- just can't make one.  I modified the flower from a pattern I found here Here is the head band pattern:
