Double crochet is a basic crochet stitch. It can be used to make a scarf, a placemat, a blanket, and even a beanie.
A double crochet can be used to create raised textures.
Just make the placement a bit different.

If you are looking for the perfect weekend crochet project, you’ve just found it. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a confident beginner looking to master your stitch placement, this quick and cozy ribbed headband is a must-make. It is stylish, incredibly warm, and works up so fast you can easily finish one in a single sitting while watching your favorite show.
The secret to this gorgeous, chunky texture is the use of Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC). By working around the stems of the stitches rather than into the top loops, you create a beautiful, stretchy ribbed fabric that mimics the look of a knit cardigan.
Ready to grab your hook and yarn? I’ve broken down every single row in the video below so you can follow along with me in real-time. Hit play and let's crochet together!
To get started, you will just need your favourite worsted or bulky-weight yarn and a matching hook. Here is a quick look at how the foundation comes together:
Simply repeat Row 3 until your headband measures approximately 19 inches (or your desired head circumference), seam the ends together, and you are done!
This project makes the ultimate last-minute gift or a satisfying addition to your own winter wardrobe. What colour yarn are you going to use? Let me know in the blog comments below, and don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more easy crochet patterns!

Life is passing by.
Each day, I find something interesting to crochet.
Mostly a new stitch to try.
As you know, I make lots of headbands for my YouTube channel.
My guilty pleasure! Actually, headbands are a quick way to try out stitches.
Even with a new stitch pattern, I will finish one in an hour or two.
The problem with that is I have no use for headbands. They are just decorative pieces I keep in my box.
I need to organize them by writing the pattern or the title of YouTube video, so I can remember how I made one later on.
The channel itself was started to help me not to reinvent the wheel
You know, when playing with yarn, some interesting things will happen. The look or the texture...
Maybe working on a scarf, and I change the pattern or stitches suddenly, and it becomes more fun.
Later, when I see the scarf in my stash of scarves, I am like, how was it made... I will not have a clue.
By deliberately recording the process and pattern, I can go back to see how I made that.
No need to remember everything, which is impossible.
