This design is something I made few years ago for my best friend along with Chunky Wrist Warmer. I just quickly made it, without jotting down how I made it. Because I loved the look, I really wanted to put it into writing. I finally did it, and I hope you like it!

Pin it now, crochet later

Inspiration

One of my best friend’s birthday is in the fall, so I wanted to make crochet fall/winter accessories. She knows I crochet a lot, knows the value of the handcraft items, and support what I do! Love Crochet Throw Pillow is actually first gift I made for her, so she knows what I can make ✌️

She often told me that her hands get really cold easily, so fingerless mittens would be good for the fall weather. There I gave birth to Chunky Wrist Warmer (one of my popular pattern now!). After I made it, I had decent amount of yarn left, so I quickly made something that can be paired with. So I thought of making a headband with a touch of detail. Not too complicated but not too simple design. Back then, I saw so many people making twisted headband, so I thought this would be perfect fit to make! I believe twisted headband was a huge trend in crochet/knit community back then. It’s still popular today, and I’m really happy to have this crochet twisted headband pattern to my design addition!

A Yarn I Used

When I made a headband for my best friend, I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Tonal, which is sadly discontinued. In order to write out the pattern, I had to remake it from scratch. I needed to make it with a yarn that’s available for purchase and not expecting that some people have Wool-Ease Tonal in stock.

I thought of using Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (WET&Q) so I compared to my stock yarn of Wool-Ease Tonal, and you can definitely tell that WET&Q is much thicker. Because I didn’t want it to look too heavy and thick, I decided to go with a yarn that has a same yarn weight. I had some Red Heart Soft Essentials (same yarn weight) left over from making Veronica Cardigan (pattern by TL Yarn Crafts) so I decided to go with that. It is slightly thinner than Wool-Ease Tonal, but it’s still gives you the stitch definition. For a much closer texture to Wool-Ease Tonal, you can try Woolspun (limited time only) and Hue and Me which both have same yarn weight category 5. You can also give it a try with WET&Q if you prefer more bulkiness!

The Look

There are 4 lines that go around the headband. The lines bring out that hint of detail on the sides and blend in together on the front. It’s not too stripy, which makes it easier to match with your wardrobe. I love making headband with single color, but multi-color sure will look nice as well! (One of my testers made in black and white!)

• 6 stitches x 3 rows in DC = 2” x 2” (5cm x 5cm)

PATTERN NOTES:

• Number in [ ] indicates the number of stitches in each row/round.
• Starting faux double crochet (FxDC) of each row DOES count as a stitch throughout the pattern and is treated as DC. You can choose to start each row with FxDC or CH 3. 
  • Photo tutorial on FxDC can be found on HERE on my blog.
  • If you’re not going to start the 1st row of section 1 with FxDC, your foundation stitch is going to be 15 instead of 12.
• ” (type of a stitch) #” means to make an indicated stitch into the next indicated number of stitches.
  • Example: if the pattern calls out for “HDC 4”, make 1 HDC in the next 4 stitches.
