The headband is skillfully knit end to end, with the charming ties and fluffy pom poms crafted separately and securely stitched into place for a polished finish. The pattern is thoughtfully provided in both written and charted formats to accommodate different learning styles.
Pattern Size: 4” wide x 19” long without ties (10 x 48 cm) makes this headband a comfortable fit for most sizes.
Yarn requirements include just 1 skein of Cascade Yarns 220 (220yds/200m, 3.5oz/100g, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool), showcased in the beautiful shade of #9452 Summer Sky Heather. Alternatively, you will need approximately 100yds/92m, 1.75oz/50g of worsted weight yarn that knits to gauge for this delightful project.
Recommended knitting needles are US 7 (4.5mm), or another size to achieve the desired gauge. A cable needle is also necessary, and for crafting the ties, US 7 double-point needles or a US G/6 (4mm) crochet hook will work perfectly.
To make the adorable pom poms, a 1.5-2”/4-5cm pom pom maker or an alternative pom pom method can be utilized. These charming accents add a whimsical touch to the overall design!
Gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches and 28 rows – 4”/10cm in stockinette stitch. While achieving the gauge is not critical, it is recommended for best results.
Embrace the joy of knitting with this ear warmer headband pattern, perfect for keeping warm in style or as a customizable gift option. Whether you are making it for yourself or a loved one, this project promises to be both delightful and rewarding!
