Steps:
Make the yarn: Stretch each strip of fabric to make it curl into a yarn-like texture. This helps give the strips a more uniform look and feel. Crochet Around the Ring: Once you have the ring, crochet around it by making single crochet stitches into the ring. Continue until you have a nice circle base. Expand the Circle: Continue crocheting in a circle, adding new fabric strips to extend the size. Each new round should have an additional stitch per side, so your circle stays flat as it gets larger. Make strips: Cut the T-shirt(s) into long strips of equal width, 2-4 cm wide. The wider the strips, the thicker the pad will be. Start Crocheting: Begin by creating a small loop with the first strip of fabric, and then use your crochet hook to chain 4 stitches to form a small ring.

Plait the strips: cross them over each other in a regular pattern. Fold the Strips: Stretch the strips so they curl into a smooth band. Final Touches: Adjust the hairband to fit comfortably, and you’re done.
