I made this headband with a mix of Celtic cables and constructed it in such a way that it is narrower in the back and wider in the front. This helps it sit better on the head. It knits up quickly once you get the hang of the pattern. It can be a great, unique gift for friends and family.

I also have a pattern for matching fingerless gloves; you will get a 25% discount when buying both the Hedera headband and the gloves.

You will get a .pdf document that includes:

• Written instructions in English, using US, UK and metric measurements and needle sizes
• Chart of the whole pattern (you can use the written instructions without the chart; this is just here in case you prefer charts)
• Instructions for making the headband larger or smaller

All my patterns are using Calibri font size 13 in black on white, so they are accessible and easy to read on different screens and when printed. All abbreviations and acronyms are explained in the pattern.

The pattern is for a single size that fits most adult women’s heads (approximately 55 cm / 21.5 inches). It includes instructions for making it smaller or bigger. The width is about 13-14 cm (5.3 inches) at the widest point, and about 5 cm (2 inches) at the narrowest point. This cannot be adjusted too much, because the largest cable of the pattern requires 24 stitches, plus 3-4 stitches on each side to create an edge. You can make it narrower (for example, for a child) by using lower weight yarn and smaller sized needles.

Skills required: knit, purl. The cables are explained in detail, so you can do it even if you don’t have a lot of experience with cables.

You will need:

• Knitting needles of 4mm / 8 UK / 6 US (or size suitable to the yarn that you use)
• (optional) Crochet needle size 3 mm / US C or D / UK 11 (or size suitable to the yarn that you use)
• Cable needle one size smaller than the knitting needles.
• Tapestry needle.
• Approximately 130 metres (140 yards) of yarn (DK weight). I recommend Merino because it is a little elastic.

Enjoy making this lovely unique headband!
