This pattern is available for $4.00.

The pattern can be adjusted to almost any yarn you want to use. Thicker yarn will make the headband wider, finer yarn will make it narrower.
The pattern is a multiple plait cable over a knitted background.

I knitted the pictured headband using sportsweight yarn made from our sheeps’ wool - Timberwolf Farm.
The size of the headband is 20in (51cm) long by 3.5in (9cm) wide.

To knit the headband you will need:
1 pair of knitting needles size 4 (3.5mm)
1 cable or double-pointed needle
2 buttons
1 tapestry needle for weaving in the ends

If you are interested in our yarn I can send you information about what we have available at the time. Since we are selling at local markets, availability of our yarns varies. We have 2 alpacas and 11 sheep. We carry sportsweight and DK (light worsted) yarns in white and different shades of gray. Some of it is spun and blended by hand. I also dye yarn with plants from our garden (indigo, coreopsis, madder, marigold) and with acid dyes from the Greener Shades brand.
