Twisted / turban style crochet headband photo tutorial
Once you have made your crochet fabric, you’re ready to construct the hairband. Below is a photo tutorial showing how to construct your turban style headband:
Construction time: 5 minutes.
How to make a twisted crochet turban headband:
- Create a crochet band
This piece should reach around your head with a couple of inches to spare.
- Fold your band in half
With right side facing you, fold your work in half and place the short ends offset, so the top end reaches half way over the bottom
- Fold half the top end underneath the bottom
So that you are sandwiching the top end in between the fold of the bottom.
- Fold half the bottom end over the top
So that the top is also sandwiched between the bottom. The two ends will interlock so it looks a little like an s shape.
- Stitch through all layers of fabric
Use the yarn tails to securely sew through all four layers.
Make 2 or 3 passes to secure the fabric.
- Open the fabric up into a loop
Check your stitching is secure.
- Turn your headband the right way out
And you’re ready to go!
