Stay Cozy and Stylish with This Free Crochet Headband Pattern

Stay warm and look fabulous by making this cozy textured headband, which features a stylish twisted front and fun picot details.

Materials Needed

To create this project, you will need a medium 4 weight yarn, a 5.5 millimeter or I crochet hook, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and an optional stitch marker to help keep track of your foundation stitches.

Maintaining an even tension throughout your foundation half double crochets helps prevent your edges from curling and makes working the subsequent rows much easier.

Step-by-Step Techniques

Begin by working a foundation half double crochet row to the length required for your chosen size, making sure your total stitch count is an odd number. Next, work a row of single crochets in the back loop only to create a neat ribbed texture at the base. Continue by alternating rows of textured picot single crochets, standard single crochets, and half double crochets, repeating the pattern rows until your headband reaches the desired height. Finish your piece by folding the short ends together, interlocking them, and whip stitching them in a zigzag pattern to form the signature twisted front.

If your picot stitches ever look a little flat after handling, simply use your fingers to gently pop them outward so they retain their signature bumpy texture.

Double-checking your size chart before starting ensures you work the correct number of foundation stitches and repeat the right amount of rows for a perfect fit.
