Crochet 3 color beaded headband

sl = slip stitch
1 ) using color A, leave 16 inches or so for tie, ch 50 ( or about 3 inches short of length to go around head ) turn
2 ) change to color B ( cut yarn A leaving a 16 inch tail of both colors ) ch2, dc into back loop to end, adding a pony bead to every third dc starting with the second one, turn
I added the beads on as I went along using a smaller hook to pull the yarn through… see photos at bottom of pattern.
3 ) change to color C ( cut yarn B leaving a 16 inch tail of both colors, giving you 3 tail strands ), sl into front loop of chains to end, fasten off leaving 16 inch tail.
Braid 3 tail strands on each side to make tie, knot at end.
Continue with dc keeping bead in front
I got some nice acrylic beads and decided to make another headband... I changed the pattern up a bit... changes can be found here
