I love the look of twisted headbands. The twist gives the ear warmer some added flair. If you haven’t had the chance to check out my other twisted ear warmer pattern you can find that HERE. It is made with a chunky yarn, making it extra soft and squishy.
This twisted turban headband is made with Patons classic wool. If wool makes you too itchy, you can use a worsted weight yarn that is 100% acrylic. A great alternative would be Lion Brand’s Heartland yarn.
You can find the ad-free, PDF version of this pattern on Etsy HERE!
Once you cast on your stitches, begin knitting in the round. Continue knitting until you have a tube that is 18 inches long.
Since there is extra stretch to the knit the headband will stretch to fit a head circumference of 20-22″
Once you have completed your tube that is 18 inches long. Cast off. Make a twist in the headband.
Once you have created the twist, whipstitch the ends together.

Hi! What size should it be if i’d make it for a 2 and a 4 year old girls?
Hello. I would cast on a few less stitches because the headband doe not need to be as thick as it would for an adult. And I would knit until your piece measures about 14-16 inches long. 14 for the two year old and 16 for the 4 year old.
Is it possible to Kitchener the ends together, after flattening each side and then joining? I don’t like a bulky seam
Ive never tried that. So I’m not sure if it is possible. Your basically knitting a long tube and seaming the ends together.
