A DK-weight two-color cable headband named for the Finnish goddess of the sea — one of two patterns included exclusively with Intarsia Cables 101.

Vellamo is the goddess of water, lakes and seas in Finnish mythology. She is called Veen emäntä ‘Mistress of Water’. The name “Vellamo” comes from the Finnish word “velloa”, which means ‘to churn’, describing the movement of water and waves

Vellamo is worked flat and finished with grafted join — pattern includes links to my video tutorial for the grafting method I use,
making it a satisfying, fast-finishing project once you’ve got the technique under your hands.

This pattern is not sold as a standalone listing. Vellamo is one of two exclusive companion patterns included with Intarsia Cables 101 — my complete guide to working genuine two-color cables, from anatomy and color-changing mechanics through three cable start methods, both increase approaches, and finishing.

Vellamo is the first project I’d hand you the moment you finish the book: proof, in a single quick knit, that the technique is fully yours now.
