Welcome back to another exciting crochet adventure!
You have heard of Camel stitch, right? Not yet? But I am sure you heard about working on the 3rd loop so a half double crochet.
Half double crochet stitches are not as tall as double crochet stitches. The dc stitches are faster to crochet. So, I decided to experiment with that. Yes, there is a 3rd loop on the double crochet!!!
I tried it, and it worked! The modification made a stretchier headband.
So, do you want to try it? I made a step-by-step video tutorial for you guys. Even if you are a beginner crocheter, you will find it easy to follow. Any questions? Ask me here or on the channel.
Here is the video for you!
Are you going to try it using variegated yarn? Did I mention that you can even create a cowl or blanket with this pattern?
Feather stitch is very squishy and stretchy. It creates a reversible fabric.
I used variegated yarn and pale yellow to create stripes with this stitch.
The two different colours create a pattern, like colours dripping into the rows.
I started with a foundation chain of multiples of 2+1. Some people use foundation hdc.
I am changing the colours every two rows. It helped me to carry the yarn on one side and use it at the beginning of the third row. That is helpful if you don't like to weave in a lot of yarn tails.
The edging is optional for this boho ear warmer. I showed it anyway.
The variegated yarn is Red Heart Economy yarn. If you wish to buy the same yarn, it is available here. The colours are very eye-catching.

The sedge stitch is a favourite for beginners because it uses basic stitches—single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet—all worked into the same space. This creates a dense, "scalloped" look that is identical on both sides.

Why the Sedge Stitch?
The sedge stitch is a favorite for beginners because it uses basic stitches—single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet—all worked into the same space. This creates a dense, "scalloped" look that is identical on both sides. In this tutorial, I used a foundation chain multiple of3 + 2(I started with 54+2 chains) to get the perfect width for a winter-ready ear warmer.
The Custom "Boho" Twist
What sets this headband apart is the finishing. I decided to give this piece a "twist" before seaming the ends together. This creates that popularInfinity Twistlook that sits perfectly on the forehead.
To take it a step further, I added a custompicot-style edgingalong the foundation chain. By using a simple(sc, ch 4, slip stitch)repeat, you get a delicate, ruffled detail that gives the headband a boutique, "Boho" feel.
