Textured Twist Crochet Headband Free Pattern
The only thing I really love about winter is all of the fun, warm accessories that I can crochet and wear.

Finishing the Textured Twist Crochet Headband:
Cut the headband from the skein of yarn leaving a long tail (at least 10″ long).
Fasten off the yarn.
Fold the headband in half, lining up the top edge of the upper half with the midpoint of the the lower half of the headband. Make sure that the right-sides (the GOOD SIDES) of your headband are inside and facing each other. We will turn the headband so this nice side shows at the end. See the picture for details.
Fold the other half of the top part of the headband down underneath the headband (it should wrap around the edge of the other half).
Take the part of the upper half of the headband that hangs over the edge and fold it underneath the headband.
Now, fold the edge that is on the bottom of the headband up and over the top of the ear warmer.
Thread the tapestry needle with one of the yarn tails. Sew the folded seam together using a running stitch (need more details, see the video). Weave end the yarn tail when you get to the other side.
Thread the other yarn tail onto the yarn needle. Sew across the fold, this time using an overcast stitch. Weave in the yarn when you reach the other side.
Turning the Textured Twist Crochet Headband:
Before you begin turning, this is what your headband/ear warmer should look like:

Almost there…needs a little straightening.
