After the hate and terror on the night of 25 June in Oslo, dad wanted to show his solidarity while he was at work the following Monday.
And since he has grown out his hair during the pandemic, he thought it was cool to have a hair braid in the colors of the rainbow.
I was the one who was going to crochet this hairband, so then it became the colors of the progression flag.

A/N: Start and end each row with a long tail (approx. 10 cm)

In white crochet 6 sc or fsc, finish this first row with a chain stitch and pull a chain thread out of the stitch
In pink make a chain stitch and fasten to row 1, crochet 6 sc , and finish with 1 chain stitch
In light blue make a chain stitch and fasten to row 2, crochet 6 sc, and finish with a chain stitch

Repeat rows 1-11 six times
Crochet or sew row 1 and row 66 together
Tie the tails of each row together* around an elastic thread or hair tie
* I recommend either an overhand knot or a figure eight knot
Feel free to cut the tails shorter or completely down to the knots.
A/N: If you leave the tails on, the hair braid will have a similar look to the fake hair braids that you could find everywhere in the early 2000s (see photo 2).
That was it. Use and enjoy
