Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a no-sew, one-piece crochet mesh DuRag headwrap. This easy pattern is perfect for beginners and will guide you step by step through the crochet process. You’ll learn how to make a stylish headwrap that can be worn in various ways.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have the following supplies:

• Approximately 175 yards of 4-weight yarn
• L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Two stitch markers
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Step 2: Start with a Slip Knot and Foundation Chain

1. Create a slip knot.
2. Chain 70 stitches.

Step 3: Create the First Row

1. In the fifth chain from the hook, make a double crochet.
2. Chain 1, skip 1 chain, and double crochet in the next chain.
3. Repeat this pattern (chain 1, skip 1, double crochet) across until the last stitch.
4. In the last stitch, perform a V stitch:
   • Double crochet, chain 1, double crochet.
   • Chain 1, perform another V stitch in the same stitch.
5. Chain 1, skip 1, and double crochet across the row.

Step 4: Continue the Pattern for Additional Rows

1. For Row 2, chain 4 (counts as a double crochet and chain 1) and turn your work.
2. Double crochet over each double crochet from Row 1.
3. At the top, perform V stitches in the same manner as Row 1.
4. Repeat this pattern for Row 3, following the same steps as Row 2.

Step 5: Complete Rows 4 to 10

1. Continue the pattern, chaining 4 and double crocheting over the previous rows.
2. After finishing Row 10, fasten off your work.

Step 6: Set Up for the Straps

1. Fold your work in half and align the stitches.
2. Count up 25 double crochets from the bottom and mark these stitches with a stitch marker on both sides.

Step 7: Create the Straps

1. Make a slip knot and chain 70.
2. Join at the first stitch marker (the 25th double crochet) on your unit.
3. Chain 4, double crochet in the next double crochet, and follow the mesh pattern (chain 1, skip 1, double crochet) around until you reach the stitch marker.
4. Chain 73, then skip to the fifth chain and double crochet.
5. Continue the mesh pattern across the strap until you reach the end.

Step 8: Finalize the Straps

1. Turn your work and chain 4 for the next row.
2. Follow the same mesh pattern until you reach the end of the strap.
3. Fasten off and cut the yarn.

Step 9: Weave in Ends

Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your project for a neat finish.
