Forming the twist:
Step 1: With the right side facing up, lay out the headband. Fold it in half lengthwise, then bring the top left corner of the top layer towards the right so that it sits in the middle of the top edge of the bottom layer.
Step 2: Fold the right hand side of the top layer (that overhangs the bottom layer) behind.
Step 3: Fold the left side (of the bottom layer) around the front. You should now have 4 layers.
Step 4: Sew the top edge together (all 4 layers) with a needle and yarn. Fasten off and weave in any ends. Turn your headband inside out so the right side is facing out.
