Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (in a deep forest green color)
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 70: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 70 stitches. This will be the foundation for your headband. Ensure that the chain is not twisted, then join the last chain to the first with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Single crochet in each chain around the ring. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet). Half double crochet in each stitch around. Once you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2.
4. Round 3: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
5. Round 4: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet). Half double crochet in the back loop only of each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2 to close the round.
6. Repeat Rounds 3 and 4: Continue alternating between Round 3 and Round 4 until your headband is approximately 4 inches wide. This will create a lovely textured pattern.
7. Fasten Off: Once the desired width is achieved, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
8. Create the Twist: To form the twist in your headband, lay it flat on a surface. Take one end and twist it 180 degrees. Bring the two ends together and sew them securely using a needle and yarn. Make sure the twist is centered and the headband fits comfortably around your head.
9. Final Touch: Weave in any remaining ends to ensure a neat finish. Your Enchanted Forest Twisted Headband is now complete and ready to wear!
