Crochet Adult Fox Headband

My hubs loves to remind me that I've made hundreds of items, but nothing for him yet. On Halloween I decided to remedy that, and make him a hound hat to go with my fox headband. He was a good sport and agreed to wear it :P You'll find the info for the hound hat at the end, but for now, the fox headband...
