This intensely cabled headband is sure to keep your ears warm! There are a lot of cable crosses, but they are simple 3 over/under 3 cables and not difficult to work. It’s not fast and mindless, but the dense cabling gives a sturdy and warm headband. I-cord edges give a nice finish to the sides, and the back is in 1 x 1 ribbing that fits nicely under your hair. The cable can be found in Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Source Book
