This is what I ended up with:
Here is the pattern:
Use an F hook and Aran weight yarn. I used Caron simply soft.
1: Ch 3, 8 hdc 3rd ch from hook, sl st to first hdc to join
2: ch 1, 2 sc same st, 2 sc each of next 7 sts, sl st to first sc to join
Now working rows
3: *ch 3, sl st next st *, repeat * 2 more times, turn
4: *ch 3, sc in next ch 3 sp*, repeat to end, turn
5-13: repeat row 3
14: ch 3, sc same st, * ch 3, sc in next ch 3 sp *, repeat * to end
15: * ch 3, sc next ch 3 sp *, repeat * to end, turn
16: repeat row 15
17: repeat 14
18-19: repeat row 15
20: repeat row 14
21-22: repeat 15
23: repeat row 14
24-51: repeat row 15 (should have 8 ch3 spaces in each row now)
52: (decrease row) ch 3, sk first ch 3 sp and sc in next ch 3 sp, ch 3-sc next ch 3 sp to end, turn
53-54: repeat 15
55: repeat row 51 (decrease)
56: repeat row 15
57: repeat row 51 (decrease)
58-59: repeat row 15
60: repeat row 51 (decrease) you should now have 4 ch3 spaces now
61-65: repeat row 15
Now working around entire headband, do not break yarn
Round 1: ch 1, sc same st, sc each of next 8 sts, {now working around edge of headband} 1 sc in each sc and 2 sc in each ch 3 sp along side, when you reach the beginning sc each of 8 sts around edge of circle, rotate and work along bottom edge of headband still working 1 sc in each sc and 2 sc in each ch 3 space, sl st to 1st sc to join
Round 2: ch 1, sc same st, sc in each of next 8 sts, * sk 2, 5 dc next st, sk 2, sc next st *, repeat * along top of headband (15 shells), sc in each of next 8 sts, repeat * 15 times along bottom edge of headband, sl st to 1st sc to join.
Fasten off
Flower
Round 1: Ch 4, sc in 4th ch from hook, *ch 3, sc in same stitch *, repeat 5 times so that you have 6 ch 3 spaces
Round 2: in each ch 3 sp, (sl st, 4 hdc) 6 times, sl st to 1st sl st to join
Round 3: ch 1, turn and work WS, sc around post underneath first petal, *ch 3, sc around post of next petal *, repeat * for each petal
Round 4: turn and work RS, in each ch 3 sp work (sl st, 6 hdc), sl st to 1st sl to to join
Round 5: turn and work WS, ch 1, sc around post under petal from previous round, ch 4, * sc around post of next petal *, repeat * for each petal, sl st to first sc to join
Round 6: turn and work RS, in each petal (sl st, 10 hdc), repeat for each petal, sl st to first sl st to join
Leave long tail for sewing.
Attach button and sew on flower where desired.
Use the ch 3 spaces to fasten button. Make sure your button fits first!!
If you need clarification on anything please contact me. I know it's a rudimentary pattern with no stitch counts. After the holidays I will work to clean it up. Again, contact me of you need help.
Happy hooking!!
