Materials

YARN: 1 skein of Drops Paris yarn in shade 17. This is an Aran weight, 100% cotton yarn. One of my all-time favorites. A great substituting for yarn for this project is Yarn and Colors Epic yarn. You can shop for more colors here.

CROCHET HOOK: 5.0 mm crochet hook or the size needed to obtain the gauge. You can find the hook I am using in the tutorial HERE.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED: a bunch of stitch markers, a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors.

Gauge

GAUGE:  Work 8 stitches and 9 rows in SC into BLO using a 5.0 mm crochet hook and an Aran weight yarn to measure 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 inches).

When you find a new crochet project that you would like to make, you usually want to start ASP. We all do. But please take some time and check the gauge. It might save your project!

Checking the gauge is a crucial step in the process of making a new crochet/knit garment. It will help you achieve the right size of your finish item. Learn how to check your gauge here.

Stitches and Abbreviations

  •  Sst/sts – stitch/stitches
  •  ch – chain
  •  ss – slip stitch
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • sc – single crochet
  • sc2tog – single crochet two together
  • BLO – work into back loops only

Special Techniques

WORKING INTO BACK LOOPS ONLY – BLO

If you look at your work from the top down, you see two loops. One closer to you called a front loop and one further away from you called a back loop.

When we are crocheting we usually insert our hook under both loops. Working into back loops only is a technique where you use the back loop only.

All you have to do when you are working on a new stitch is to insert your hook between both loop and under the back loop. Grab the yarn and continue with the stitch.

JOIN TWO SINGLE CROCHET STITCHES TOGETHER

There are a couple of ways how to join two single crochet stitches together. My favorite way is a technique that is usually used with amigurumi toys. It’s also called invisible single crochet two-together stitch.

  1. Insert the hook into the first stitch below.
  2. Insert the hook into the second stitch below.
  3. Grab the yarn and pull it through. You have two loops on your hook.
  4. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook.
  5. Done!

Instructions

Crochet Baby Turban – Spring Breeze

The pattern for crochet baby turban is written in four simple steps:

  • panel 1 (around the head)
  • panel 2 (the top of the head)
  • panel 3 (a piece that holds the front of the turban together in a bow)
  • assembling.

Please, read the instructions carefully. Don’t skip any parts of the pattern and make sure you are not accidentally losing or adding additional stitches to the pattern. That might affect the final look of your design.

Panel 1

Take the cotton yarn in Aran weight and 5.0 mm crochet hook. 

Create a foundation ch made of 47 chains. After each row ch 1 and turn your work.

Row 1: Start in the 2nd chain from the hook and work 1 sc into each of the next 46 chs. = 46 sts.

Rows 2 – 18: Work into BLO. Work 1 sc into each of the next 46 sts. = 46 sts.

Cut the yarn and fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.

Repeat this row 4 times: Work 1 sc into each of the next 12 sts = 12 sts.

Row 12: Join the first two sts with a sc2tog. Work 1 sc into each of the next 10 sts. = 11 sts.

Leave a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn and fasten off.

Assembling

This is the part where we are going to attach all the pieces together.

Place the panel 1 on a flat surface. take 2 stitch markers and mark 18 sts.

This is the part where we are going to attach all the pieces together.

1) Place the panel 1 on a flat surface. Take 2 stitch markers and mark 18 sts in the center of the panel.

2) Take the panel number 2 and attach the straight edge to the panel 1 – to those 18 marked sts with a small amount of yarn/ yarn tail and a tapestry needle.

3) Join both ends of panel 1 with a small amount of yarn. When you are done gather the front part of the hat going through every other row, following along the vertical seam.

4) Take panel number 3, wrap it around the front seam to create a bow looking shape. Join both ends of panel 3 together. Pull the seam of the panel 3 up.

Turn the piece the wrong side out, then sew the panels together.

5) Take a small amount of yarn and a tapestry needle and start slowly attaching the panel 2 to the panel 1. Attach every row/stitch from panel 2 to exactly 1 stitch on the panel 1.

6) Cut the yarn and fasten off. Hide all the yarn tails and you are done.

Can you tell me how many inches around the main part of the turban should be? The part that goes around the babies head doesn’t look long enough.Mine only measures 10.5″ . I’m only on row 10 so if I need to start over I will.

Reply
Doroteja October 20, 2020 - 12:49

Hi Julie
The circumference of the turban should be around 37 cm (14.5”).

Made this per your video and it was very easy and fast. Though I’m surprised how small the newborn size was. Guess it doesn’t help my newborns were 9lbs and 12 lbs. Thank you very much for the pattern and video. I really enjoyed this hat.

Hi! I have tried this lovely pattern and it is beautiful!

I have some struggles with the size though – the part around the head turns out to be only 26cm x 8cm. I saw that someone else had the same problem in the comments, and I am wondering if you know what I am doing wrong..

I am from Sweden but am pretty sure I must have translated everything in the correct way, I will let you know the specifics of what I used below.

I have used a 5mm crochet hook and yarn 50G, 10cm10cm=23rows and 17 stitches. And I should’ve had crochet hook size 5,5mm but using the 5mm shouldn’t have caused this big difference.. :/

Do you know what I have done wrong?

Reply
Doroteja March 17, 2021 - 14:35

Hi Felicia! It’s hard to say what could be wrong, but that is a very tiny turban. 😐 I would recommend a larger crochet hook, thicker yarn, and maybe even slightly loose stitches.
Happy crocheting!

Beautiful pattern. Really easy to follow.
Is there any way this can be converted to a knit pattern please.

Reply
Doroteja March 17, 2021 - 14:26

Hi Sue Spring! I am pretty sure it can be, but unfortunately, I am a terrible knitter, therefore I don’t believe I will make this pattern as a knit version anytime soon. πŸ˜„

If I want to make it 6-9 months size how many stitches do I need to add? Adorable and ty.

Doroteja March 17, 2021 - 11:34

The easiest jump in size would be with the slightly larger crochet hook and slightly thicker yarn. 😊

Love this pattern and your videos! I made the baby booties from this pattern: https://youtu.be/0GJUs7WEQ-4

I had enough DK yarn leftover to make this turban so that I can have a matching set. I had already finished the first panel before I realized you used Aran weight yarn in this video so I need to start over.
How should I adjust pattern with DK yarn?

Thanks! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™
Two yarns (same weight) together will give you the next yarn weight on the chart.

Thanks for making your pattern available for free – I tried unsuccessfully 3 times to create a knitted turban pattern and failed – I believe I can do it now by using your pattern and making the 3 panels to size, but in knit. I find the knitted articles to be much thinner and flexible than the crochet articles, and thus more comfortable for babies. Also, I knit much better than I crochet! When I finish the knit pattern, do you want me to send it to you? After all, the essence of the pattern is yours — thank you again!

Hi Jan! I am so happy to hear you like the pattern! πŸ₯°
There is no need to send the knitted pattern to me. Just please be so kind and don’t sell the instructions with the same techniques and sizes as I do. πŸ™πŸ˜Š Thanks! πŸ€—
