Originally designed as a sporty headband to be used on cold winter runs, this cabled headband is stretchy enough for comfort but snug enough to stay put when you are active. With only 21 rows, it is a quick knit. There are 3 sizes included, from 19.5 inches 49.5 cm to 22.5 inches 57 cm. The Japanese method of short rows is straight-forward and creates a flawless fabric. A picture tutorial for this method is included in the pattern pdf.
