This crochet twisted headband pattern is perfect for spring or fall weather when it’s cold, but not too cold! It is a nice alternative to a hat, and can be worn to hold the hair back or to keep your ears and forehead nice and cozy!

Crochet twisted headband pattern shown in two colors.

This crochet headband pattern can be worked up in a small amount of yarn, which makes it an ideal pattern for stashbusting. Plus, the size is adjustable, making it easy to make up a whole bunch for gifts.

How It’s Made

The stitch used here is the Crochet Blossom Stitch. It has a bit of an open lace. The pattern uses basic crochet stitches and can be replicated by beginners who are comfortable with the basics and know how to read a pattern.

It is worked in rows to the size you want, and then the ends are sewn together to make the twist.

How Do You Sew A Twisted Headband Together?

Step 1. To sew the twist, fold the band lengthwise with the Wrong Sides facing the outside and the Right Sides together.

Step 2. Layer the band as shown so that the edges overlap from the center. You can place your stitch markers in the middle if you like. I just eyeballed it, because you can adjust it in Step 5 as needed.

Step 3. Then fold one end over the other as shown below.

Step 4. Next, fold the second end over so that the ends interlock.

Step. 5. You should have four layers. Make adjustments as needed to make sure everything is centered evenly.

Step 6. With your tail end of the yarn, and using a tapestry needle, sew across making sure to go through all four layers.

Step 7. Turn right side out to hide the seam. Easy Peasy!!!

The Size

The finished size is shown on an adult small, but in a mutliple of 4 + 2 you can easily customize this for any size you need! If you need to make adjustments, you can use this ear warmer size chart as a reference.

Recommended Yarn

I used Bernat Premium yarn with a 5.5 mm crochet hook. It’s a worsted weight acrylic yarn. Any similar yarn that gives you a good stretch can be substituted. Vanna’s Choice is a good alternative for this band.
