Crochet Twist Headband

Create this cute and easy jolly crochet twist headband!

Great for leftover scrap yarn and so much fun to make in a variety of colors!

First the body of the headband is made, then we add some color/texture with a simple horizontal single crochet stitch (video included!), then we finish with a super simple twist (video included!).

This project uses a size H, 5.00 mm crochet hook and medium worsted weight yarn (4).
