Easy
Twisted Headband
1) Chain as many stitches needed to go around your
head keeping it just a bit snug, chain one more for your turning
chain
2) hdc in all chains.. you can use the bar or top loop I've done both but like the looks of going through the bar... turn
3) ch 1, hdc to end, turn
repeat row 3 as many times as you like to reach half the thickness you want
once you have half the thickness you want, fold in thirds with the live stitch in the center of the folds. Place a marker at that fold. See photo below
This formula can be used
with any weight yarn and corresponding hook size, as such no sizes
are given as well as yardage or gauge.

how many stitches you have undone, chain that many plus 1 for turning
chain.
Turn, hdc into second ch,

Repeat row 3 until you
have the same thickness as the first half.
