Simple Lines or Lots of Love?

With this pattern you are getting two for the price of one! What’s not to love about that?

You will start with a provisional cast-on and then continue working flat. You can choose between creating a basic ribbing pattern on the Lines Headband or simple four stitch cables on the Love Headband. Both feature rolled edges.

On both you will be increasing at the beginning and decreasing at the end to create a tapered neck section. You will then finish off with a Kitchener Stitch join.

Written in full with handy progress check boxes, so you can keep a visual track of where you are.

Materials Needed

Yarn

CHUNKY ~ 50g per headband. You’ll need to be super careful not to have too long of a tail at the start as you’ll need every bit of a 100g skein to get both headbands. It can absolutely be done though.

One more thing …

If you like the look of this pattern it would be a huge help to me if you would give it a like. Your support of my little dream is so appreciated. Every ‘like’ helps and it’s a known fact I do a tiny happy dance each time I get a notification. I am a terrible dancer!
