"I personally prefer wearing ear warmers over hats which is why it was so shocking to me that I had hardly any patterns for them! I usually make quite a few of my Gio Head Wraps to take to shows every year but felt like I needed more variety this year, so I came up with a few more designs." (Regina Pastrano from Regina P.

"This twist headband is the perfect project if you're a beginner because all you need to know is how to crochet a chain, half double crochet (hdc) and half double crochet in the back loop only (hdcblo)!
This will create that wonderful ribbing effect on your headband. It's the same used to make cuffs for sleeves on sweaters or jackets. It's quite stretchy, so make sure to make your headband a little smaller than the head circumference to allow for negative ease." (May Shehab, Start Crochet)

"So as I’m on a bit of a yarn ban this year (because I seriously have enough yarn to fill a shop) instead of buying I went stash diving for these headbands. I knew I wanted something wool, as wool has the ability to manage moisture and regulate temperature, which I thought would be useful if you did want to use the headband whilst out for a run."
