This headband is very eye catching with a split cable pattern using both knit and purl stitches. It is knitted fat and seamed at the end with some shaping at each end. It matches the Double Dutch Cabled Cowl.
The cabled pattern is slightly more unusual than some other cables you may have knitted in the past, but it is very effective, but you will soon pick up the repeating pattern. This means that this is the ideal project for working on whilst you are watching the TV.
The headband takes approx 40g of aran weight yarn, depending upon which size you decide to make, so it is a great project for using up that left over ball.
It is also quite quick to knit up so would make a great last minute gift. Bigger sizes are achieved by repeating the rows at the beginning and end which ensures the cable is still in the middle.
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 40g of Aran yarn for the largest size.
This easy, fast-knit headband is a sure winner for Christmas or gift knitting. I’ve designed the headband in three sizes, with a bit of negative ease, so they’ll fit a range of teen to adult head sizes.

My daughter who is 11 wants to knit but can just about remember the difference between a knit and purl stitch. Many patterns marketed as beginner are too hard for her and the ones that aren’t are boring.
This pattern is different. If you can cast on, cast off, knit and purl then you can make this headband. What is more you will be amazed how easy it is to achieve the fantastic wave effect at the front!
