Teen/ Adult women: 5.11” (13 cm) wide by 20.8” (52.55 cm) long

To resize the headband, start with more/less chainless foundation half double crochet stitches, multiple of 2 and try the piece around your head!

7 crossed hdc or 14 hdc back loops only and 10 rows in pattern repeat = 10 cm x 10 cm (4” x 4")

BcrHDC: Back Crossed Half Double Crochet: sk 1 st, work 1 hdc into the next st, 1 hdc back into skipped st going behind the last hdc just made, so as not to catch it, inserting the hook from front to back of the work. So, 1 bcr hdc will be made of 2 sts.

FcrHDC: Front Cross Half Double Crochet variation: sk 1 st, work 1 hdc into the next st, 1 hdc back into skipped st going in front of the last hdc just made so as not to catch it, inserting the hook from back of the work to the front.

yo-slst-blo: yarn over slip stitch back loops only: Yarn over (yo) and insert the hook into back loop of indicated st; yarn over and draw the yarn through; (You have now 3 loops on the hook).

Having the 3 loops on the hook, pull/slip the first loop on the hook through the next 2 loops on the hook to complete a Yarn Over Slip Stitch Back Loop Only!

Row 1 (WS): With hook size 4.5 mm work 76 Fhdc, ch 1 turn.

Alternatively, if you do not like to use the chainless foundation half double crochet:

Alternative Row 1 (WS): chain 78. Inserting hook into back bumps of chains, work 1 hdc into 3rd ch from hook and 1 hdc in each ch across; ch 1, turn. (76 sts total; the ch2 at the beginning will not count as a st)

Row 2 (RS): work 1 hdc-blo in 1st st and 1 hdc-blo in each st to last st, 1 hdc in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn. (76 sts total)

Row 3 (WS): 1 hdc in 1st st, 37 BcrHDC, 1 hdc in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn (76 sts total)

Row 4 (RS): 1 hdc in 1st st, work 37 FcrHDC, 1 hdc in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn. (76 sts total)

Row 5 (WS): work 1 hdc-blo in 1st st and 1 hdc-blo in each st to last st, 1 hdc in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn. (76 sts total)

Row 6 (RS): work 1 hdc-blo in 1st st and 1 hdc-blo in each st to last st, 1 hdc in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn. (76 sts total)

Rows 7-10: Repeat from Row 3 to Row 6!

Rows 11-13: Repeat from Row 3 to Row 5!

Row 14 (RS): work 1 yo-slst-blo in 1st st and 1 yo-slst-blo in each st to last st, 1 yo-slst in last st using both top loops, ch 1, turn. (76 sts total)

Note: Using the yo-slst-blo for the last row will make the first and the last row look more similar.

Cut yarn leaving a long tail that will be used to sew the short ends together.

Make the Twist by sewing the short ends together:

Lay the crochet piece flat with the RS facing.
