Materials Needed:

Medium weight (size 4) velvet yarn (I used Loops and Threads Petite Purl for this tutorial)

Size H (5.0mm) crochet hook

Yarn needle

Scissors

Measuring tape (for checkin gauge and size)

Crochet Stitches Used:

Chain Stitch (Ch)

Double Crochet Stitch (DC)

Foundation Double Crochet Stitch (FDC)

Double Crochet Thermal Stitch

Crochet Slip Stitch (Sl St)

How to Start (Counts as Row 1):

This crochet headband can be started in two different ways: A chain start OR a foundation double crochet start.

Chain Start: Begin by chaining 65. Then into the 2nd chain from the hook place a double crochet stitch into the BACK BUMPS of the chain stitches. There will be a total of 64 double crochet stitches.

Foundation Double Crochet Stitch Start: This is my preferred method for starting this headband. If choosing this way to start, foundation double crochet 64 times.

Velvet Thermal Twist Headband – Row 2:

Now to start begin by chaining 1. Do not turn though. With the double crochet thermal stitch we work down the row. The thermal double crochet stitch is worked by picking up the back loop of the previous row’s stitch as well as the parallel partner loop. See the picture below for how to work this stitch.

Finally, work one Thermal Double Crochet Stitch in each stitch across. (64)

Now, cut the ear warmer free from the skien of yarn. Fasten off. Do not weave in ends yet.

Folding the Ear Warmer:

Begin by placing the headband on a flat surface with the pretty side facing up. The wrong side will be facing down. See the pictures below to see which side faces up and which side faces down.

How to determine the right side and the wrong side of the velvet thermal twist crochet headband

Next, match up the corner of one of the short sides with the midpoint of the opposite short side.

Now fold the upper part of the headband down and underneath the headband. Make sure to match up the 2 corners at the midpoint of the other side.

Finally, 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.

How to Sew the 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!

Tie a knot and weave in that yarn tail.

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 end.

Turning the Thermal Twist Ear Warmer Right Side Out:

After sewing the free crochet headband and weaving in the ends, now it is time to turn it right-side out. You will need to mess with it to get it laying perfectly flat!
