HEADBAND with a Twist front. crochet Ear warmer/headbands are the main accessories in our house over the colder months.
And since posting a picture of my daughter wearing one I’ve had lots of orders!
The crochet headband is very easy to make!
Very quick and can be done whilst watching a movie as it really is quite a simple crochet project
Crochet this easy headband with a cute front twist. It's a fabulous beginner project.
Making the headband uses simple stitches, single crochet, and double crochet.
The headband covers the ears and sits nicely at the top of the head without the bulkiness of the twist crochet headbands.
I used less than 50 grams of Double Knit Yarn and a 4.50mm hook
TO Start The Crochet Headband
Ch 21 (20+1)
ROW 1: Sc in 2nd chain stitch from hook and continue to work 1 single crochet in each of the next chain stitches = 20 single crochets.
ROW 2: ch2, and work a double crochet into the base of the chain 2, continue Working 1 double crochet in each stitch across, (20)
Row 3: ch1, Make your first single crochet into the base of ch1, and continue working Single crochet in each st across (20)
Continue working a Row2 and a Row 3.
Repeat until your work measures 8 inches.
Finishing with a double crochet ROW you are now going to divide your work into 2 parts as follows.
Work 1 SC in each of the first 10 stitches, turn and work back along with these 10 stitches
Continue the established pattern of double crochet, single crochet rows, back and forth over thees first 10 stitches until it measures 5 inches from where it was divided making sure that the last row is a Double Crochet ROW.
Go back to the unworked 10 stitches and join yarn
Workover the 10 stitches in the same way as the previous length (adjust measurements/rows to make them equal). You need to make sure you END on a double crochet row.
Fasten off.
TO finish
Sew together start and end outer loops of edge stitches.
