What is a turban?
A turban is a type of headwear based on cloth winding. Featuring many variations, it is worn as customary headwear by people of various cultures. Traditionally it is worn for religious and faith reason, while now the turban is a common and fashionable item to many.
In recent years, a modern draped version of the turban can also be worn as a fashion accessory. While sometimes controversial, the turban has been a prominent fashion accessory with women for many decades
Historically the turban has been worn for thousands of years. During the 18th and 19th centuries the turban’s popularity grew in European countries. Fast-forward to the 20th century and the turban was revived as a fashion accessory once again. Around the 1950s the turban became fashionable again in America due to Christian Dior’s design of a turban that was worn by Elizabeth Parke Firestone
I’m giving you an updated crochet take on retro fashion that was worn a lot during the 50s. This crochet turban pattern includes a full video tutorial to help more visual learners.
This is the perfect pattern for beginner crocheters. The entire pattern is made up of back loop single crochets & a 5 mm hook. No complicated stitches or counting! I’m perfecting my “Crochet & Chill” patterns. I do advise that you watch the full crochet turban video tutorial for assembly purposes. Sometimes seeing is easier than the written version.
About the yarn
Vanna’s Choice has always been one of my favorite yarns. The fullness of the yarn is apparent in every stitch. It’s so squishably soft & bounces back when stretched. I wanted a yarn that wouldn’t leave gaps when you are crocheting & looks great even after washing.
This is a silky-soft premium basic yarn that is the easy-care yarn Vanna loves enough to call her own. With its supple hand and stunning stitch quality, Vanna’s Choice has the versatility to help you create the designs of your dreams. Make a simple sweater, shape a stylish shawl or fashion a stunning afghan. Weight category: 4. Solids: 100% acrylic, 3.5oz/100g, 170yd/156m.
