How long will this Easy Twisted Ear Warmer take to make?

In about 1 or 2 hours, with one skein, you could have completed this wonderful headband. And it could be as a perfect gift! 

Let’s get started to make this perfect pattern! 

EASY TWISTED HEADBAND DIRECTIONS 

For girls or women/teenage size you will need: 
Drops Safran – 1 skein, 100% cotton, 50g = 160m

The crochet hook 4.00 mm.

And some buttons - I used 3 buttons with flowers, about 0.4 inch. 

This Headband is made as a one panel (crocheted as a one part), joined with slip stitching.

Size: bellow there is a pattern for girls, the head measurement 20 inch / 50 cm and women sizes the head measurement 22.05 inch / 56 cm. 

Size can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the number of rows.

Difficulty Level: Level 1
SlSt – slip stitch 
CH/s – chain/s 
HDC - half double crochet 
SK - skip 
T - turn 
ST/s - stitch(es) 
REP - repeat 
YO – yarn over
LP/S - loop(s)

Special stitches used: hdc in the 3rd loop only - the 3rd loop is hidden under the back loop.

Pattern notes:
1) Before you start take a measurement of your head. Crochet the number of rows until you reach the measurement taken. 
2) Each row of the headband always has the same number of stitches, the stripes have a half number of stitches.
3) The direction shown are for girls and women M sizes but can be easily converted into bigger size or smaller size – just by reducing or increasing the number of rows. 
4) Each row starts with a ch1, a ch 1 at beg of every row doesn't count as sc
5) work with 2 yarns together (you can use both ends from one ball, or use 2 balls)

GIRLS SIZE
Pick up the 4.0 mm crochet hook and let’s make a slip knock.

Continue crocheting with the same yarn and crochet hook.

Lay your work work. Cross the first strip on top over the second one to form an "X". 

Now, your working yarn is at the outer edge of your strip and you can continue crocheting with it. If your yarn is in the middle after crossing, you will have to fasten off and join new yarn at the outer edge of your strip.
