This is a pattern for super easy knitted headband. It is knitted seamlessly in the round, then the piece is twisted and the ends are joined together with Kitchener stitch.

The headband is perfect for leftover fingering weight yarns and lace weight silk mohairs, but instructions for a DK weight version are provided.

Yarn
Note: The headband uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.
