crochet twisted headband/earwarmer
While we are still in the spirits of giving and gifting, this crochet twisted headband and or ear warmer is the perfect low budget last minute present. This ear warmer calls for one skein of yarn,so it is perfect for that left over yarn you have laying around.
As it is christmas and the budget is tight, this twisted headdband couldnt fit the budget more perfectly as it calls for scrap yarn
This ear warmer is very wide, however, made wider, it would provide a loooot more warmth to the ears, go crazy, you are a crocheter after all, when you hold the hook, you are in charge!!!
As i say for almost all the projects, this crochet earwarmer is a no brainer, it can be your first project too!! I know i say this a looot, but it won’t be so as the next project will be looking in the mosaic direction, I am excited to share that pattern with you!!!

CONSTRUCTION
The construction of this twisted headband is as easy as they come. We will begin by making a chain that firs our head, as said earlier ( probably in the video tutorial), this pattern comprises of three sizes, so you and your baby can have that matching motif this Christmas holidays.
You begin by making the required chain for your size, the whole pattern is a 2 row repeat of half double crochet and slip stitches to give us the ribbed look that makes it look knit, then we fold the work to give it the twisted appearance and heeey, you got yourself a crochet twisted headband.
