Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Foundation
-
Chain 18 for a standard 4.5″ width.
-
Add or reduce chains if you prefer a wider or narrower headband.
2. Body of the Headband
-
Row 1: Hdc in the 2nd ch from hook and across. Ch 1, turn.
-
Row 2: Hdc-blo across. Ch 1, turn.
Repeat Row 2 until your rectangle reaches about 20–21″ with a gentle stretch.
The length should be 1–2″ shorter than the head circumference so the headband fits snugly.
3. Forming the Twist
-
Lay your rectangle flat.
-
Fold one end in half vertically.
-
Fold the other end in the opposite direction.
-
Slide the two folded ends together so they form an offset “S” shape.
-
Sew through all four layers using a yarn needle.
-
Turn the headband right side out—the twist will appear automatically.
4. Finishing
-
Weave in all yarn ends.
-
Adjust the twist with your hands and shape the headband neatly.
Your Courtney Crochet Twist Headband is now ready to wear or gift!
