Dew is a headband with a lovely cable panel running across. It’s knit as a long tube, that is either grafted together or fastened with buttons. The pattern contains instructions for both constructions, and also options for a twisted headband. The fit of the headband is easily adjusted, and the best way to achieve the perfect fit would be to try the headband on the head that will be wearing it.
