Revolutionary Rib Ritorto Headband by Emma Sadler Designs
This Ritorto Rib Headband pattern is perfect for new knitters, or a quick project to have on the go whilst you are watching TV. It makes a great gift and can be completed in just one evening using less than a 50g ball of aran or worsted weight yarn.
It is knitted flat, with and interesting crossover of stitches which creates a turban look effect. It is sewn together at the end to make a lovely headband or ear warmer.
Just the job for walking in the colder weather or for keeping your hair tidy when it is windy.
So grab your needles and some stitch holders and off you go!
You will be able to knit the headband from approximately 50 yards of Aran yarn for the largest size.

As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear.
