Materials:
- Size I, 5.5 mm crochet hook for bulky weight yarn, size H, 5.00 mm crochet hook for medium worsted weight yarn (about 4 oz of bulky weight and 3 oz of medium worsted weight for the adult size), I used Yarn Bee Andes Alpaca in “City Beat”. For the red headband I used 2 strands together of Yarn Bee Dazzling in “Royal Canon”
I also recommend Bernat Baby Softee Chunky yarn (bulky weight yarn) and Read Heart soft (medium worsted weight yarn). Both are very soft, comfortable and easy to work with.

With the right side facing up, fold each end in half horizontally. Put those halves together by putting one side of the fold inside the other. See picture/video below how how to make the twist:
Cut a long piece of yarn and with your blunt needle weave in and out through all ends together. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Turn your piece inside out and you’re done!
Pin it for later!
What brand of yarn/colorway was used for the yellow variegated headband?
It is Yarn Bee Andes Alpaca in “City Beats”, hope this helps!
Thank you! This put me on the right track to finding it; sadly it has been discontinued 😔
The yarn was Yarn Bee JULIETTE in “Honeysuckle Meadow.”
Darn! Sorry!
I just want to thank you for giving him sizes and instructions for both weights of yarn. I wish everyone did that! It’s very helpful. I have made this pattern several times. It’s a fun one that turns out beautiful!
That’s supposed to say hook sizes not him sizes. Autocorrect.
Thanks so much! I try my best to write patterns in many sizes and options so I appreciate your feedback! Thank you 🙂
