Easiest Twist Headband

Want to make a super cute and cozy headband that’s perfect for keeping your hair out of your face?

This twist headband is the perfect project if you’re a beginner because all you need to know is how to crochet a chain, half double crochet (hdc) and half double crochet in the back loop only (hdcblo)!

This will create that wonderful ribbing effect on your headband. It’s the same used to make cuffs for sleeves on sweaters or jackets. It’s quite stretchy, so make sure to make your headband a little smaller than the head circumference to allow for negative ease.

I made this headband for my 8 year old daughter, so it’s a little small. Use the headband sizing chart below for sizing reference.

This cute twist headband will make a lovely quick gift for your loved ones or if you want to make one for yourself, choose your favorite colors that match your clothes!
