The GÖTE Headband is knit with a Merino and Silk Wool blend - creating a super soft fabric. The twisted rib stitch gives the headband a beautifully well-defined rib pattern on the outside and the stockinette stitch on the inside allows for the headband to be worn two ways.

The GÖTE Headband is knit in the round for a double-layered fabric, starting with a provisional cast-on. The stitches will then be split, knit separately and twisted in order to create the cable in front. Kitchener’s stitch will be used to join the headband in the round seamlessly.

GÖTE is derived from the name Göteborg – the second largest city in Sweden situated on the West Coast. A fashionable and friendly city close to the sea.
