Last night and this morning, I made a turban headband. I've been seeing them all around Pinterest and had a big case of the I-can-make-that's, so I did! I used both a thin cotton yarn and an even thinner fringe-y type yarn together. It was pretty simple to make, and if you know your basic crochet stitches, I bet you can make one too.
I didn't follow a pattern or anything, but I basically chain stitched until I had the width I wanted, then I single crocheted in every other stitch with a chain stitch in between, making sure to chain stitch before I turned onto the next row. It's really stretchy, because the yarn I used is stretchy, and also, single crochet stitches usually produce a stretchy end product. I like how boho it looks without looking lazy like some recent boho fashion I've seen.
I've also decided to sell the turban headband on my Etsy shop, Essential Handmades, because I really like it! Be sure to check it out. Would you wear something like it?
I think I'll be making tons more of these, because I can whip one out in a couple episodes of The Office! :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Love, Liz
