his headband will maintain your ears heat when the air outside is at a temperature much less than comfy. You can also adapt these directions to make a lighter, thinner headband that can be worn in warm weather conditions to maintain your hair off your confront. This pattern is ideal for starting knitters, and takes incredibly tiny time to make.
1.Pick your yarn. A worsted fat (usual) yarn in a fairly shade is ideal.
2.Make a gauge swatch. Knit about a 4" x 4" sample square, and measure how many stitches are in each inch, and how many rows, with the yarn you've picked. Write that number down.
3.Use your chosen yarn and measurements, cast on the number of stitches you'd need for the final piece to be 2 1/2" wide. (If you were getting 10 stitches per inch, you'd cast on 25, for example.) In this example, it'll be 16 stitches for a size 8 to 10 needles.
4. Knit every row. Don't purl because it's less stretchy. In this example cabbage stitch is used, because it makes a stretchier piece. Continue until the piece is as long as you would like your headband to be. (Heads vary in size, so measure your own, and take off one to two inches for the stretch.)
5. Bind off your stitches and tidy the ends with a yarn needle as shown.
6. Twist the headband once and sew the bound-off edge to the cast on edge. The twist will make the headband more comfortable at the back of your head, so your hair can fall normally.
7. Model your creation for the world to see!
