Chunky Crochet Headband Pattern

A quick and fun crochet project? Yes, please! This chunky crochet headband pattern works up quickly (even for a slow crocheter like me), and uses only single crochet and chains, making it an ideal project for both beginners.

This chunky crochet headband pattern is a great project if you want something stylish to keep your head warm during those chilly days.

I made matching headbands for myself and my daughter, and she loves it!

Since it uses a Bulky (#5) weight yarn, it works very quickly. This crochet ear warmer pattern can be easily modified to any size you want (see pattern notes). Although the pattern mentions 3 sizes for the crochet headband pattern, you can use the size table below to adjust the size you want.

How to Make a Twisted Crochet Headband

Fold the headband in half lengthwise, hold each of the two short ends and fold them in half.

Bring the two folded short ends together, so they will wrap each other, as shown in the photo below.

Using a tapestry needle, sew the two edges together, going through all 4 pieces.
