Simple Twist Headband

Simple Twist Headband

I use UK stitching so this table might help

Stitch Abbreviations

trbl cross - to treble cross you skip a stitch then treble, then wrap wool as you would to start a new stitch but go back into the skipped stitch and treble

dtbl cross - is the same as above but a double treble stitch you are creating and twisting.

blo- is working into the back loop

I used a 4 mm hook for this pattern.

Cast on 12 sts

Row 1. Chain 2 to make first "htrb" then htbl the next 11 sts - 12 in total

Row 2. Ch3 tbl 1, then tbl cross into the next 8 stitches, making 4 twists, trbl normally into the last 2 stitches.

Row 3. Ch 2 then htbl into the blo until end.

Row 4. Ch 2 htbl until end.

Row 5. Repeat row 3.

* Row 6. Ch 4 then dtbl next st, dtbl cross in next 8 stitches then dtbl in last two stitches * Row 7. Ch2 htbl into blo until end.

Repeat these two rows until row 30 or until big enough ending with the htbl row

Next row. Ch 2 htbl until end.

Next row. Ch 2 htbl into blo until end.

Next row. Ch 3 tbl 1, tbl cross the nest 8 sts , tbl in last 2 sts.

Next row. Ch2 htbl into blo until end - cast off and sew edges together.
