Head bands

So I have been working on this pattern for a long time.  I saw something like this once in Mexico and I said that I could make it.  I have made several attempts and now I think I got it.  This is the first time I try to write a pattern let me know what you think.

Supplies:

•  Medium weight yarn
• I/9 5.50mm hook
• H/8 5 mm hook (for flower)
• Buttons
• Tapestry  needle  

Abbreviations:

• ch - chain
• sc - single crochet
• st- stich
• sl st - slip stich
• sc2tog (sc dec) - Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Instruction:

Chain 6

Row 1: sc in second stich from hook and eache across ( 5 st)

Row 2-4: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 5: ch 1, sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in 3 st, sc in next 2 st (6 st)

Row 6 - 7: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 8: ch 1, sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in 4 st, sc in last st (7 st)

Row 9 - 10: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 11: ch 1, sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in 4 st, sc in next 3 st (8 st)

Row 12-13: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 14: ch 1, sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in 5 st, sc in next 3 st (9 st)

Row 15- 40: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 41: ch 1, sc2tog, sc in next stich (8 st)

Row 42- 43: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 44: sc2tog, sc in next stich ( 7 st)

Row 45- 46: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 47: sc2tog, sc in each st across (6 st)

Row 48 - 49: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 50: sc2tog, sc in each st across (5 st)

Row 51 - 52: ch 1, *sc in each st across

Row 53: ch 1, sc in next 2, skip st, sc in st last 2 st

Boarder: ch 1, sc in next st around, sc st in Row 53 fasten off.

The head band would be 15 inches long, this is good so that it can stretch.

I borrowed the pattern from Lion Brand Yarn, but I changed it to make it more dimensional.
