When a friend showed me this gorgeous, knitted, baby turban, I wanted to make it right away. But, when it comes to knitting, simple scarves are about all I can handle. So I took on the challenge to recreate a turban in crochet.
While I like the knitted version better, I still think it turned out pretty cute.
Yarn:Martha Stewart Crafts Extra Soft Wool in Gerbera Daisy (by Lion Brand Yarn)
Hook: US H /5.00mm
Pattern: I started the hat using these instructions for a basic beanie. Once I got the circumference I wanted, I used the stitch I learned while making this Boys Crocheted Vest (from the book Little Crochet) to create a rib look for the rest of the hat. To finish, using the photos from the knitted baby turban tutorial as a guide, I made the “turban knot” by looping yarn over the last few rows with a yarn needle.

That may be the cutest little girl ever (wink*). Thank you again! We love the turban! I might have to commision another one for Little Sister when she gets here.
Very cute.
Reminds me of my grandmother – she always wore a hat like that when she wasn’t wearing her wig.
Thanks for the pattern love it. Making for a friend’s granddaughter. 🙂
