Materials Needed
- Yarn: 100g of worsted weight yarn in a rich, forest green color.
- Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
- Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 20 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
- Establish Ribbing:
- Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of the row.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, K2; repeat from * to end of the row.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your work measures 4 inches from the cast-on edge. This creates a nice ribbed border for your headband.
- Begin Cable Pattern:
Now you will start the cable pattern that gives the headband its beautiful texture.
- Row 1 (Right Side): K2, P2, C4F (Cable 4 Front), P2, K2, P2, C4B (Cable 4 Back), P2, K2.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2.
- Row 3 (Right Side): K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2, K2.
- Row 4 (Wrong Side): Repeat Row 2.
- Repeat Cable Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 of the cable pattern until your headband measures approximately 18 inches or your desired length.
- Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches in pattern (K2, P2) to maintain the ribbing effect.
- Finishing:
- Carefully sew the ends of the headband together to form a continuous loop.
- Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a neat finish.
