This is a lovely pattern for spring and summer and can be knitted in cotton, silk or bamboo for a cool and stylish accessory. It can also be made in wool or acrylic fibres to keep your ears warm in the chilly days of winter. The band is worked in one piece, with a single seam at the back and the pattern is both written and charted in clear sections.

The stitches used are k, p, k2tog, p2tog and ssk decreases, m1r and m1l increases, yf, (yo) and yrn. The pattern also features a simple bobble and there is a link to a support page about how to calculate yarn amounts.
