Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight wool yarn (recommended color: deep navy blue for the headband with contrasting white for the snowflake motifs)
- Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
- Stitch marker: To mark the beginning of the round
- Scissors: For cutting the yarn
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted when you join in the round.
- Join in the Round: Carefully join your work in the round, placing a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round. This will help you keep track of your progress.
- Ribbing (Rounds 1-4):
- Round 1: *Knit 2, Purl 2*; repeat from * to * until the end of the round.
- Round 2: Repeat Round 1.
- Round 3: Repeat Round 1.
- Round 4: Repeat Round 1.
- Snowflake Motif (Rounds 5-20):
Follow the chart for the Nordic snowflake motif. You will be repeating a 12-stitch pattern 8 times around. Make sure to pay attention to the color changes if you are using contrasting yarns for the snowflakes.
- Ribbing (Rounds 21-24):
- Round 21: *Knit 2, Purl 2*; repeat from * to * until the end of the round.
- Round 22: Repeat Round 21.
- Round 23: Repeat Round 21.
- Round 24: Repeat Round 21.
- Bind Off: Bind off loosely in pattern (knit 2, purl 2). This will ensure that the edge of your headband remains stretchy and comfortable.
- Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your headband a clean finish.
- Blocking: Block your headband gently to open up the pattern and enhance the snowflake motifs. This will also help to even out any uneven stitches.
Your finished headband should be approximately 4 inches in height and designed to fit an average adult head circumference of 21-23 inches. Enjoy your new cozy accessory!
