Step-by-Step Crochet Headband Pattern

Foundation Chain

1. Start with a Slip Knot.
2. Chain 102.
   • This will be the base chain creating the length of the headband. Adjust the chain length to fit your head circumference, ensuring it’s a multiple of 2 for simplicity.

Row 1: Base Row

1. Skip the first chain and insert your hook into the second chain.
2. Work 1 Half Double Crochet (hdc):
   • Yarn over, insert hook into the chain, yarn over again, pull through. You should have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
3. Repeat 1 hdc into each chain across the row.
   • Total number of stitches: 101 hdc.

Rows 2–4: Back-Loop-Only Rows

1. Chain 1. Turn your work.
2. For every stitch, insert your hook into the back loop only and work 1 hdc.
   • This technique creates a ribbed texture.
3. Repeat this process for Row 2, Row 3, and Row 4, ensuring you still have 101 hdc per row.

Row 5: Starting the Twist

1. Chain 1. Turn your work.
2. Work 1 hdc back loop only into the first 18 stitches.
3. Chain 5.
4. Skip 5 stitches in your row and work 1 hdc back loop only into the 6th stitch.
5. Repeat:
   • Work 1 hdc back loop only into the next 18 stitches.
   • Chain 5, skip 5 stitches, and work into the 6th stitch.
6. Repeat this pattern two more times:
   • Total: 4 groups of 18 hdc divided by chain 5 spaces.
7. At the end, work 1 hdc back loop only into the final 9 stitches.

Row 6: Connecting the Chains

1. Chain 1. Turn your work.
2. Work 1 hdc back loop only into the first 9 stitches.
3. Insert your hook into each chain of the five-chain space and work 1 hdc into each chain.
   • Total: 5 stitches filled in each chain space.
4. Continue:
   • Work 1 hdc back loop only into the next 18 stitches.
   • Repeat filling the chain spaces with 5 hdc and working across until the row ends.
   • Total stitches: 101 hdc (no skipped stitches).

Rows 7–9: Back-Loop Rows

1. Chain 1. Turn your work.
2. Work 1 hdc back loop only into each stitch for Row 7.
3. Repeat the pattern for Rows 8 and 9.
   • Maintain 101 hdc stitches per row.

Twist Assembly

1. Make two identical parts following the pattern above.
2. Place the two pieces side by side:
   • Align the 18 stitch sections on the front edges.
   • The 9 stitch sections will meet at the back.
3. Create the Twist:
   • Fold the first half horizontally and insert it into the loop of the second half.
   • Pull the second half’s edge over the first folded part. Repeat to secure the twist.

Finish Edges and Attach to Headband

1. Use a needle to sew the sides together. Ensure it is done neatly to avoid visible mismatched stitches.
2. For a professional finish, work from the inside by securing stitches through the back loops only.

Tutor’s Tips

Steam-block your finished headband lightly to relax the stitches and enhance the texture before gifting or wearing.
