Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern – Diagonal Lattice Headband

The Diagonal Lattice Tunisian Headband is a beginner-friendly, Tunisian crochet project that is just perfect to keep you warm in the winter cold!

Moreover, with Christmas just behind the corner, this headband makes such a gorgeous Christmas gift!

The design of the Diagonal Lattice Tunisian Headband is very simple, thus perfect to practice your Tunisian crochet skills and learn a new stitch.
I actually designed this headband to match my Misty Grey Tunisian Poncho, which I designed for a guest post on the undergroundcrafter.com blog.

For our headbands, we will be using the same stitch as the main body of the Misty Grey Tunisian Poncho, which is the diagonal lattice stitch. Don’t worry if you have no clue how to make the diagonal lattice Tunisian stitch because I will guide you through it with step-by-step photos.

Materials

• Aran/Worsted Weight, Medium (4) Yarn
• 8.0-mm (L/11 US, 0 UK) Crochet Hook

You do not need a Tunisian hook for this project. Your regular hook will work fine as long as it does not have a large handle.

Yarn Recommendations

I used Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran in colors Kingfisher Blue (834), Misty Grey (803), and Bright Peach (811).

Feel free to use any comparable medium-weight yarn that meets gauge.

Step 3. Take the folded half nearest to you on the right and insert it in between the folded, left side.
Step 4. Keeping the four halves aligned and tight together, sew the top rows together.
