This headband is not just functional; it boasts a unique contour design that perfectly hugs the shape of your head, ensuring comfort and a secure fit. Ideal for both casual wear and outdoor activities, it also serves as a wonderful earwarmer during the colder winter months. Versatility is key with this pattern! The Casco headband can be crafted from various yarn thicknesses, making it suitable for any season. Opt for thinner yarns for a light and breezy spring or summer headband, or use thicker yarns for a cozy winter accessory. Detailed notes are included in the pattern to guide you through adjusting the design for different yarn weights, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of the materials you choose. **Finished Measurements**: The finished headband measures 18 inches (46 cm) in circumference and 9 inches (23 cm) wide at the center curve. This size is perfect for most head sizes, with the model’s head measurement being 23 inches (58.5 cm). **Yarn Requirements**: For this project, you will need worsted weight yarn, approximately 1.8 oz (90 yards) or 50 g (85 m). The sample was made with Red Heart Super Saver, a durable and popular 100% acrylic yarn that comes in a 7 oz (198 g) skein with 364 yards (333 m). The sample used in this pattern showcases a sleek charcoal color. **Knitting Supplies**: You will need US size 7 (4.5 mm) knitting needles, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a stitch marker—or you can use a piece of yarn knotted into a loop as a makeshift marker. **Gauge Information**: Achieve the correct fit with a gauge of 18 stitches and 38 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch. This ensures your headband will have the right dimensions and elasticity, making it a beautifully crafted piece you'll love to wear.
