Yin & Yang Infinity Headband
The yin and yang infinity headband can be worn to hold the hair back or to keep the ears warm in cold winter weather. It is not only cozy, but it also features a beautiful color design and texture that you will enjoy wearing.
The crochet ear warmer has a twist, which can be worn at the front of the head, the back, or off the side, whichever you prefer. The twist is loose, but you can sew it so it stays in place if you like.
Recommended Yarn
I Used Lion Brand Pound of Love. I love this yarn because it is soft and stretchy. You can buy it in big balls and it goes a long way, making it an economic yarn.
Croche this in a solid color, or in two or more colors to use up a few leftovers.
How it’s made
This headband is worked in an infinity pattern. The first round is worked in a row and then joined together in a twist to form an infinity shape. This allows you to crochet around both sides of Rnd 1. You begin in the free loops, then work your way around and continue working into the top of the stitches made in rnd 1. Thus, in rnd 2, you end up with twice as many sts as in rnd 1.
As for the stitch pattern, it is none other than the awesome crunch stitch! It’s amazing the different design you get simply by changing color after each round.
