Oversized Headband
Uses: Suited for outdoor joys or indoor cozies, this headband’s elegant twist front ensures you look as radiant as a winter morning every day. Its chunky width is designed to shield against the chill while being a chic wrap for your head.
Materials:
Soft worsted yarn
A pair of US Size 7 [4.50mm] needles
Making:
Begin the headband by casting on 30 stitches using two needles held together for a more relaxed cast-on edge. The pattern requires a multiple of 3 stitches and is made up of 80 rows, creating this repeating sequence: yarn over, slip 1 Stitch purlwise, and then knit 2 together (K2TOG). This sequence, called the English Rib Stitch, creates a rich, textured pattern. Once you’ve reached the desired length, you’ll bind off loosely. Here, you’ll purl the purl stitches and yarn overs and knit the knit stitches. This ensures the headband remains stretchy and comfortable. Leave a long yarn tail after binding off (30-40cm/12-16″) for seaming. Finish the knitting by tying a secure knot and trimming the excess tail. Finally, turn the headband inside out for a neat finish.
Thermal Twist Headwrap
Uses: The Thermal Twist Headwrap is a cozy friend for chilly days! It wraps the ears in warmth and doubles as a stylish accessory. Easy to carry and gift, it’s a favorite for those who love a blend of function and style.
Materials:
2 skeins of Lion Brand LB Collection Merino Yak Alpaca in Oatmeal
Size US 8 (5mm) circular knitting needles
Making:
Creating this headwrap is a smooth and enjoyable process. Knitted in a tube with a lovely broken rib stitch, it offers a squishy, comfortable feel. The magic lies in its simple steps – knitting around, mixing in purl stitches, and repeating. Once the knitting reaches the right length, a smart twist and a hidden seam using mattress stitch bring it all together.
