SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate beginner.

PATTERN
Written row-by-row instructions are accompanied by photos showing all maneuvers.
The headband is knitted flat (back and forth) and then sewn together with a twist.
The pattern repeat is a multiple of 2sts over 2rows.
Although the headband is knitted with Aran or Bulky weight yarn, the used needle size is 1 or 2 sizes smaller than the yarn weight would usually call for.
This fact and the pattern stitch itself create a chunky „woven“ texture.

SIZES
The pattern gives directions how to easily customize the headband to fit your individual head circumference.
Therefore it is ideal for all sizes from Kids/Teens to Adults.
