A little cozy, a little playful, and full of texture!

The Cabled Earflap Headband combines beautiful cable detailing with shaped earflaps and long I-cord ties for a charming, bonnet-inspired look. Wear it on its own or layer it over your favorite baseball cap for an extra touch of warmth and style.

Worked from the ties upward, the earflaps are shaped individually before being joined to create the headband, which is then worked in the round. Twisted yarn-over increases create smooth shaping, while the raised cables add lovely texture and dimension.

A fun, relatively quick knitting project and a wonderful handmade gift!
