Hi again! I’m Jess from Chaos & Love and super glad to be back! Last time I was here, I showed y’all how to make a fun Crochet Wrap Bracelet. This time, I’ve got a turban headband tutorial which can be easily made in any size. I’m really excited about this one!
Once again, I’m using upcycled jersey fabric – in this case, a men’s size large t-shirt that doesn’t seem to belong to anyone in my house. The only other things required for this project are a couple colors of yarn, a J crochet hook, a yarn needle and something to sew a quick seam (could be a machine or needle + thread).
What you’re going to do:
1. Make your bow “fabric” by single crocheting a rectangle that’s 9 stiches by 6 rows. Tie off and weave in loose ends on both sides. Set aside for later.
2. Lay your t-shirt flat on a rotary cutting mat. Remove the bottom, finished edge of the t-shirt. Next cut a 2″ strip of fabric.
3. For a tween-sized headband, you’ll need to cut your loop down to about 30-32″ total. Sew open end together with sewing machine or needle + thread.
4. To create headband, lay fabric ring out in an oval shape with stiched edges at the outside. Twist fabric twice at center.
5. Fold in half so that sewn edges meet.
6. Turn over headband and pinch “knot” together in preparation for adding bow.
7. To make bow, pinch rectangle together at center. Thread yarn needle and run long piece of thread through center. Place over headband knot.
8. Wrap loose ends of yarn around to create bow shape.
9. Use yarn needle to weave in loose ends of yarn on underside of bow/knot.
And that’s it! You’re all done!
