Free Crochet Headband Pattern
This is a beginner pattern that’s simple but stylish. You crochet a rectangle, working it flat, and then sew the seams to create a twisted look. The ribbed texture adds a stylish touch to the headband, making it look more advanced than it really is.
You alternate front and back post double crochet stitches, which is my favorite way to create ribbing. This easy crochet headband is perfect for anyone just starting out and looking for a great project.

- Then, wrap the remaining half of the top end to the front.
