Chilly

Chilly day outside? No problem with this cozy knitted headband! Designed to keep your ears warm while adding a stylish touch to your winter outfit, this headband is knitted using worsted weight yarn, making it a quick and enjoyable project that you can complete in nearly no time at all.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate. This pattern involves knitting in the round with either double-pointed needles (DPNs) or circular needles, and features a delightful stranded colorwork technique that adds visual interest.

Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Apu Kuntur Alpaca Soft, a luxurious 100% alpaca yarn that is incredibly soft and warm. Each ball contains 100m/50g (109yds/1.76oz), and you will need one ball of each color. The sample utilized approximately 44m (48yds) of the main color (in beige) and just 4m (4.4yds) of a contrast color to create a stunning design.

Needles: To craft this lovely headband, you will need a set of 4mm/US 6 needles, either a set of five DPNs or a circular needle, depending on your preference and comfort while knitting.

Notions: Don’t forget your yarn needle for weaving in ends, and a stitch marker, which is optional but very helpful when using circular needles to keep track of your rounds.

Gauge: It’s important to achieve the correct gauge for this project: 18 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch measures 10cm (4 inches). This ensures your headband will turn out perfectly sized.

Size Details: The finished headband has a circumference of 35cm (14 inches) when unstretched, and it stretches comfortably to 57cm (22 3/4 inches) to fit various head sizes. The final width is 9cm (3 3/4 inches), providing ample coverage while remaining stylish.

Embrace the cold with this trendy knitted headband pattern that combines warmth and style effortlessly. Perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this pattern is sure to become a favorite in your winter accessory collection.
