Twisted Lines Crochet Headband- Free Pattern
It gets cold in Montana…like really cold! In fact, this past February we had an entire week where the temperature was -30 F without the wind chill! Because I live in a deep freezer, I love cold weather gear that keeps me warm. I want to look fashionable while staying warm though. That’s why I spend a lot of time creating crocheted headbands (or ear warmers). Lately, I have become a fan of crocheted headbands with a twist, so that has been my recent focus. I am sharing my latest creation with you today: The Twisted Lines Headband (a free crochet headband pattern and tutorial).
Materials Needed for the Twisted Lines Crochet Headband:
I (5.5mm) Crochet Hook
Medium weight yarn (I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Tape measure (for checking dimensions)
Crochet Terms Used:
Foundation Single Crochet (FSC)
Chain (Ch)
Single Crochet (SC)
Half-Double Crochet (HDC)
Back Loop Half-Double Crochet (BLHDC)
To Begin the Twisted Lines Crochet Headband:
Begin by Foundation Single Crocheting (FSC) 68 times. If you are uncomfortable with the Foundation Single Crochet, you can chain 69 times, then turn and place a single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and a single crochet in each chain thereafter for a total of 68. Below is a video tutorial for how to Foundation Single Crochet. Once you get the hang of it you won’t go back! lol!

Folding the Twisted Lines Crochet Headband:
Clip the headband free from the skein of yarn. Slip stitch to secure the yarn tail.
Lay the headband down on a table with the right side (the side you want facing out) up.
Fold the headband in half, but place the top edge of the headband at the midpoint of the headband (see picture for details).
Now take the bottom side and fold it up and over the top of the headband. Make sure to match the two edges in the middle.
Next, fold the upper part of the headband down and underneath the headband. Make sure all of the edges are even before sewing the seam.
Sewing the Twisted Lines Crochet Headband:
Using ONE of the yarn tails, sew across the folded edges using a running stitch. Make sure to catch all four sides when sewing!
With the second yarn tail, sew across with a whip stitch over the edge of the seam. Again, make sure to catch all four edges with the stitching. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Turning the Crochet Ear Warmer:
To finish the twisted ear warmer, turn the headband right-side out. You will need to mess with it a little bit to get it to lay perfectly flat.
Now enjoy staying warm and looking fashionable too!
