Beginning the Crochet Rows

Completing the Length

Securing the Ends
- Finishing the End: Chain one, cut the yarn, and leave a longer tail to sew.
- Thread the Yarn Needle: Use it to weave yarn ends and prepare to sew the headband.
Assembling the Headband
- Folding: Fold the completed strip in half and overlap to create the twist effect.
- Sewing the Twist:
- Use the yarn needle to sew along the four layers, being sure to have openings at both ends.
- Once sewn, reinforce by stitching back over to secure.
- Final Stitching:
- Sew the final openings by folding each side and sewing through each layer once more for security.
- Ensure all stitching is tight, and ends are woven in.
Conclusion
