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 a crochet project that looks high-end but is simple enough for a relaxing evening, this Sedge Stitch Infinity Headband is the perfect choice. This project is all about texture—using a variation of the classic sedge stitch to create a thick, reversible fabric that is both warm and stylish.
In my latest video tutorial, I walk you through every step of this "cozy boho" accessory. Whether you call it a headband or an ear warmer, this is a "quick win" project that helps you master a beautiful new stitch while creating something wearable in under an hour.
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. In this tutorial, I used a foundation chain multiple of 3 + 2 (I started with 54+2 chains) to get the perfect width for a winter-ready ear warmer.

What sets this headband apart is the finishing. I decided to give this piece a "twist" before seaming the ends together. This creates that popular Infinity Twist look that sits perfectly on the forehead.
To take it a step further, I added a custom picot-style edging along 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.
In the video, I also show you a clever way to change yarn colors without cutting your thread, which is perfect if you want to create a striped look like the beige and green version I made.
