Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, 100g (recommended color: rich forest green for a natural feel)
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 24 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Row 1 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This establishes the foundation of your headband.
3. Row 2 (Right Side):
   • Knit 2 stitches (K2).
   • Now, you will create the cable pattern. *Perform a C6F (Cable 6 Front) by crossing 6 stitches over the next 2 stitches. Then, knit 2 stitches (K2). Repeat from * until the end of the row.
4. Row 3: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a purl ridge that separates the cable rows.
5. Row 4:
   • Knit 2 stitches (K2).
   • Now, knit 6 stitches (K6), then knit 2 stitches (K2). Repeat from * until the end of the row.
6. Row 5: Purl all stitches across the row.
7. Row 6:
   • Knit 2 stitches (K2).
   • Perform a C6B (Cable 6 Back) by crossing 6 stitches behind the next 2 stitches. Then, knit 2 stitches (K2). Repeat from * until the end of the row.
8. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1-6 until the headband measures approximately 20 inches or your desired length. Make sure to measure as you go to ensure the perfect fit.
9. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.
10. Seaming: Use the mattress stitch to seam the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge. This will create a seamless finish for your headband.
11. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a neat finish.
