Get ready to finish up more gifts for this season than you thought was possible.
In this listing you’ll find a Tunisian crochet headband pattern, plus a cowl pattern, together making a gorgeous set, perfect for anyone who doesn’t like or can’t wear hats or scarves.
Use an Aran or worsted weight yarn for finishing these up quickly, so you can get out in the snow and have some fun.
The pattern uses the Tunisian honeycomb stitch (alternating classic Tunisian simple stitches and purl stitches), which makes the fabric elastic, soft, warm and non-curling.
The two ways of seaming up the cowls and headbands are illustrated in photos and the videos you can find below. You can use the simple seam or a twisted seam for adding more interest to this simple accessory.
Skill level
Enthusiastic beginner - you need to know how to make Tunisian simple stitches, Tunisian purl stitches and Tunisian full stitches. Follow the videos if you are not familiar with these stitches.
Finished size
There are two tables for nine sizes of heads, ranging from 40 cm (15 3/4”), all the way up to 64 cm (25 1/4”). The cowls have positive ease, for comfort, while the headbands have negative ease, to keep them on and take advantage of the elasticity of the honeycomb stitch.
