This pattern is a quick and easy make for a gift! Any worsted weight yarn will work well.
Malabrigo worsted looks great too! The project takes about 50g or 100m of a worsted weight yarn for an adult sized headband.

Instructions for making a narrower or wider band are included, and you crochet until you reach a length about the circumference of the individual’s head (or an average head size for the age).

The pattern includes a pictorial tutorial of how to do the seam to get the twist effect.
