      I'm definitely going to try this! I've been searching and searching for a headband pattern for my sister's Christmas gift.

      Ironically, her name is Catherine! Is there a reason this pattern is called "Catherine Crochet?"

        Hi Lauren! 😀 I named it Catherine because the spiky stitch pattern is called the Catherine Wheel Stitch. Why it's named that I have no idea! I hope your sister likes it!

      Hi...I'm currently doing this headband & I'm at a lost. In row 1, you mentioned about changing colors but in rows after that, there's no more. I hope you can help me find my way back. Thanks!

        Hi Jamie! You change colors again at the end of Row 3, the instructions are at the end of that line. 🙂
