The “Be Basic Headband” is a very simple headband that is worked in the round. Either on a bad hair day or to keep your ears warm with your hair up this will be a piece you will reach for constantly.

It is designed to use up exactly one skein of Cardiff’s Cashmere classic - perfect for that one skein you have flying around. But it can also be a great scrap project if you turn it into a striped version.

The pattern is designed with one size only but is easily customizable by knitting it a bit shorter or longer.

One size

Needles:
3.5 mm US 4 circular needles or DPNs
