The Aurelia/Aurora Twist Headband is a 2 in 1 design which gives you the option of creating the same headband with different fabrics. The Aurelia twist headband is constructed solely from garter stitch (all knit stitch) whereas the Aurora is worked up in rib stitch (knit one, purl one). Both designs are worked as a flat piece on 10mm needles before either end is joined together and seamed.

Each Aurelia and Aurora feature a single cable to give the classic twist. The pdf contains step by step written instructions and accompanying photographs to guide you through the process. Creating the twist is easy peasy!
