Skill Level: Beginner

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in your desired color

• 5.5mm (I-9) crochet hook

• Yarn needle (optional, for weaving in ends)

Stitches Used:

• ch (chain)

• hdc (half double crochet)

• sc (single crochet)

• sl st (slip stitch)

Instructions:

Start with the Base:

1. Chain 10 stitches (adjust the length for a wider or narrower headband).

2. Row 1: Skip the first two chains, then hdc in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 8 hdc stitches).

3. Row 2 & 3: Ch 2 (this counts as your first hdc stitch), then hdc in each stitch across. Turn your work. (8 hdc stitches again).

Body Pattern:

1. Row 4 & 5: Ch 1, sc in each stitch across. Turn your work. (8 sc stitches).

2. Row 6 & 7: Ch 2, hdc in each stitch across. Turn your work. (8 hdc stitches).

3. Repeat Rows 4-7: Continue crocheting these rows until the headband reaches your desired length.

Creating the Twist:

1. Fold the headband in half lengthwise, bringing the ends together.

2. Twist the two ends around each other once to create a twist.

3. Line up the corresponding stitches on each side of the twist.

4. Join the twisted section: Using a sl st, sew through both layers of fabric, catching both the front and back loops of each stitch. This secures the twist.

Edging:

1. Ch 1, then sc evenly around the entire headband.

2. Add extra sc stitches at the twist to maintain the width of the headband.

3. Fasten off: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in the ends.

4. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle for a clean finish.

Tips:

• You can experiment with different stitch patterns for the body section (e.g., double crochet, slip stitch) to create different textures.

• Add a button or embellishment for a personalized touch.

This pattern is easy to customize and perfect for beginners who want to try a quick and stylish project. Enjoy crocheting your own twist headband!
