This headband is part of a matching set that also includes a headband and cowl with buttons. You can buy each separately, but there is an automatic 33% discount when you add all three of them to your cart.

All my patterns are using Calibri font size 13 in black on white, so they are accessible and easy to read on different screens and when printed. All abbreviations and acronyms are explained in the pattern.

The instructions are for a headband that fits most adult women’s heads (approximately 55 cm / 21.5 inches). It can be made smaller or larger by removing or adding pattern repeats.

The width is about 13-14 cm (5.3 inches). This cannot be adjusted too much, because the cable requires 24 stitches, plus 3-4 stitches on each side to create an edge. You can make it narrower (for example, for a child) by using lower weight yarn and smaller sized needles.

You will get a document that includes:

• Written instructions in English, using US, UK and metric measurements and needle sizes
• Chart of the cable pattern repeat (you can use the written instructions without the chart; this is just here in case you prefer charts)
• Instructions for making the headband larger or smaller

Skills required: knit, purl. The cables are explained in detail, so you can do it even if you don’t have a lot of experience with cables.

You will need:

• Knitting needles of 4mm / 8 UK / 6 US (or size suitable to the yarn that you use)
• Crochet needle size 3 mm / US C or D / UK 11 (or size suitable to the yarn that you use)
• Cable needle one size smaller than the knitting needles.
• Tapestry needle.
• About 140 metres (150 yards) of yarn (DK weight). I recommend Merino because it is a little elastic.
