The braided twist crochet headband features a gorgeous braided edge and cute front twist detail! The headband uses a series of puff stitches and double crochets to create the beautiful detail. A simple twist is then added in the front when you sew the ends together.
Measures approx. 5″ in width.

I love your headbands and they are so easy to crochet,
Thank you for your patterns and tutorial

Thank you Janet!
I love this pattern, but every time I try to make it I get a big hole in the V of the two puff stitches. How can I close this up so that it looks like yours?
are you working both puffs into the same V part of the stitch? It may be your tension…I did make a YouTube video showing how to make the headband in the post that should help.
