A lovely reversible headband with Fair Isle motifs on the front and ribbing for a nice grip and extra warmth on the inside.

This headband is knit in the round without any seaming - all tails are hidden on the inside. It will take an experienced knitter about 8-10 hours to finish. Except for the 3-needle bind-off, no complicated stitches are involved. A step by step video tutorial is available as well as detailed written instructions.

You will need two skeins of Cashmere yarn to finish the headband. Though any yarn for needle sizes 3.00 mm with a nice fluff can be used if you do your own size calculations (the pattern includes how to do just that).

There are two versions available, though experienced knitters will be able to adjust the Fair Isle section on the front according to their own preferences.

Attention: You will need 3 needle sets (2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 mm) to finish this headband. Both circulars or dpns work.
