Crochet Multi-color Turban Beanie
Materials Needed:
- Yarn (Medium 4 weight; varies in color based on preference. One skein is sufficient, and you will not use the entire skein)
- Scissors
- Stitch markers
- Darning, weaving, or tapestry needle
- Crochet hook (Size J 6 mm US crochet hook recommended due to tension)
- Tape measure
Instructions:
Starting the Turban:
- Begin with a slip knot. Wrap the yarn around your finger twice, then pull the second loop over the first one and off your finger while lifting up on the remaining loop.
- Insert your crochet hook into the loop and pull to tighten.
- Chain 120 stitches. This number was found to be the magic number to reach a length of 35.5 inches or 90 CM. Adjust based on your gauge.
Row 1 (Single Crochet Row):
- Crochet into the second chain from the hook.
- Insert hook, yarn over, pull through to the front, leaving you with two loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through both loops.
- Continue putting one single crochet in every chain across. The number of single crochets in this row should match in every subsequent row.
Row 2 and Beyond:
- Chain 1 at the end of row 1.
- For all subsequent rows, you will be single crocheting in the back loop only to create texture.
- Turn your work, and crochet into the back loop of the very first stitch of the new row.
- Continue with one single crochet in the back loop of every stitch across.
- Remember to place a stitch marker on the first stitch after you create it to mark the beginning of each row.
Changing Colors (Optional):
- To add a new color, simply tie the new color yarn to the end of the current one and securely knot it.
- Trim the yarn tails close to the knot.
- You can crochet over the tails as you go to avoid having to weave them in later.
Building the Turban Height:
- Continue crocheting in rows until the piece measures approximately 5.5 inches in height or 14 CM, changing colors after every six rows or as desired.
Assembling the Turban:
- Once you've reached the desired size, fasten off your work and weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle.
- Fold the piece in half to find the midpoint and mark it with a stitch marker.
- Crisscross the turban at the midpoint and secure the crisscrossed parts with stitch markers.
- Flip the work and attach points using the stitch markers to ensure it's aligned in the center.
- Stitch each side from the outer edge towards the center fold to join the turban, using yarn and tapestry needle. Use the same stitch technique as when joining the colors.
Final Touches:
- Once all sides are stitched up and the turban has taken shape, make any necessary finishing touches, such as securing loose yarn ends.
- Remove all stitch markers.
