Nightingale Headband
The Nightingale Headband is designed to keep your ears warm in the cold temperatures with its double layer of fabric. The classic cables add a touch of beauty. And its simple construction makes this a relaxing project.
Begin by casting on in the round and knit a tube of cables on the front side and stockinette on the back. Knit until the recommended length then bind off and join the ends together to create the beautiful twist.
