1
Make 41 chain stitches using worsted weight yarn and a size US H crochet hook. Make a single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each remaining chain across.
-
2
Make one chain stitch and turn your work; single crochet in every stitch across the row. Repeat this step until the piece measures approximately 23 inches long.

Cut the working yarn, leaving a 12-inch tail. Use this tail to yarn over and pull through the stitch all the way, pulling gently to tighten.
-
4
Thread the yarn tail onto an embroidery needle. Bring the two corners on the finished edge of the piece to meet together, leaving a hole in the center where they gather. Use the embroidery needle to stitch through both corners and attach them together. Tie a knot on the underside of the piece, weave in a few inches of the yarn tail to hide it, and cut the excess.

5
Thread another 12-inch length of yarn onto your embroidery needle. Hold the corners on the opposite short side of the piece; thread one corner through the hole left between the corners in step 4 and then pinch the two new corners together, locking together the two ends of the turban. Stitch these two corners together as in step four and weave in the end.

Pull on the body of the turban to stretch it out slightly and make the corner loops overlap so the stitches are hidden inside the overlapping portion. Wrap it around your head to wear.

Tips & Warnings
To make a chain stitch, bring the yarn up and over the hook from back to front (yarn over), catch the yarn in the hook and pull it through the loop on the hook.
To make a single crochet stitch, insert your hook into the stitch indicated, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through both loops on the hook.
