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.

Construction:
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!

Is there a video for this? I see it written above, but nothing is clickable. I was hoping to see it being sewn together.
It’s right at the top of the page, beneath the photo of the 6 headwarmers. 🙂 Took me a while to find it too. 🙂
Yes there is video that is included in the post. It’s also on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_H0bKeKcVE&t=1s

Can you tell me the brand and color of yarn for the yellow headband? LOVE the colors and texture. Thanks in advance, and for offering the pattern for free!
I love this pattern Thank You 😊 Question: for 6-12 months how wide do you make it?
Good question! You can make it any width you want as long as you start with a odd number of chains. I would suggest a starting ch of 15 for a 6-12 m size.
