Crochet Frankenstein Headband -Free Pattern

Frankenstein Headband

I made this pattern because the kids just loved the Frankenstein outfits I have been making for my pups, so I had to come up with something for them too. This is what I came up with the Frankenstein Headband! I quickly whipped up a headband, and took a bit of time coming up with a smaller and simple version of the bolts, it was done! I decided to make it a headband for the girls, and it was a big hit!(not sure on what I'll make for the boys) They call it Frankie's headband from Monster High (they have been over the moon about these dolls for some time now), so I'm glad they like it whatever they call it :) . Hope you all like it as much as the kids do!
