This cable knit headband pattern is an easy, cozy ear warmer worked flat on two needles. It creates a double-thick headband that fits children through adults and includes a full step-by-step how-to video. You can watch the video here:

How to Knit a Double Thick Cable Headband

This pattern is perfect if you prefer straight needles or want a simple project without knitting in the round. Once finished, it seamed into a warm, comfortable ear warmer that stays in place without bulk.

Beginner-friendly, this pattern is ideal if you can knit, purl, cast on and off. The cable is clearly shown in the video, making it a great first cable project or confidence-builder. Sizing is adjustable, so the same pattern works for kids, teens, and adults

The pattern, like all my work, is written out in full on my website. Scroll down the page on your phone or tablet and follow along row by row as you knit. You can read the free, ad-supported version here:
