Fancy Flower Crochet Headband Pattern

I've always wanted to make my own pattern for a crochet headband with a big flower for Madeleine.  As the weather has gotten so much colder here over the past week, I decided to buckle down yesterday and create this adorable little headband (or earwarmer) for Madeleine.  It's perfect because it's wide enough and warm enough for her to wear over her ears outside and comfy and cute enough to wear around the house.  She loves it and is wearing it all of the time now!  I just put this up on Ravelry and Etsy, so enjoy :)
