Amazing Grace Twisted Headband

This Amazing Grace Twisted Headband Pattern is the 20th free pattern in the Amazing Grace Series.  Dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and my dearest friend Sandy Gilb who lost her fight in 2007.  Pay it forward by make and donating any of the Amazing Grace Patterns to someone suffering or recovering from cancer or any traumatic life event…

Amazing Grace Twisted headband is a simple pattern using the Amazing Grace standard stitch. To achieve the twist that sets this off,  you work the pattern in two sections for a few rows, cross them and work the piece in one solid pattern again… But, don’t worry, there is a photo tutorial at the bottom of the pattern for you to see how this works!!
