Fox Ponytail Earwarmer/Headband:

 

Difficulty Level:  Easy

Size:  This will fit an average woman's head.  If you need to make it for a tween/teen, then reduce your number of repetitive rows (for adult it goes from 6-44; so, reduce here)

--5.0mm hook

--Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in Terra Cotta, Black and White (approx 70-80 yds total)

--tapestry needle for weaving

Directions:

Follow Basic Instructions, except, OMIT, step #6.  You will be working with 10 HDC stitches, (instead of 12 HDC stitches) from Rows 5-45.  Then continue with rows 46 and 47.   Here's the Link for the Basic Pattern:
