Knit your own double cable knit headband ear warmers. These cuddly-soft ear warmers will keep you warm and comfy on those chilly winter days. And you can still wear a bun or ponytail while keeping your ears warm with this hand-knit headband. Each headband is approximately 3.5 inches wide.

This is a simple cable knitting pattern. I do not include a cable chart, as I find they confuse matters when clear written instructions are sufficient. I’ve written detailed instructions and a full pattern for each size.

Included in the pattern are instructions for all five sizes: Adult XL, Adult, Child, Toddler, Baby.

If you use the extra-soft acrylic yarn called for in this knitting pattern, the ear warmers can be machine washed separately on hand-wash cycle in cold water. Lay flat to dry.

To make these headbands, you’ll need to know how to make a provisional cast on, knit, purl, slip stitches, and complete a Kitchener stitch; this is an intermediate skill level pattern.

This pattern was designed using Caron Simply Soft Yarn, but you can substitute almost any worsted weight yarn. Try Malabrigo Rios or any soft warm worsted weight you have in your yarn stash. Always check your gauge, especially when substituting yarn.
