This headband uses the double-knit technique for extra thickness and warmth. Double-knitting creates a self-lining without sewing. The I-cord embellishment is simple to make and is attached with a yarn needle. A schematic for laying out the I-cord is provided in the pattern. The headband tapers at the neck and closes in the back with a single button.

This headband can be made in any single-color heavy worsted or bulky-weight yarn. One skein of yarn is more than sufficient.
