**Datters Headband: A Beautiful and Functional Knit for Your Daughter** Introducing the Datters Headband, a charming and practical accessory designed specifically for your daughter. "Datter," meaning daughter in Norwegian, embodies the essence of this stylish and cozy headband. Perfect for busy college students who need to look effortlessly beautiful while on the go, this thick lattice cable knit headband combines elegance with functionality. This knitting pattern is not just a delightful project; it’s an excellent way to utilize yarn from your stash!

It makes for a thoughtful gift for your daughter or any loved one, and we won't blame you if you want to whip up one for yourself as well! **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** This headband boasts a total length of 30 inches. The I-cord measures 7 inches on each side, with the body spanning 16 inches. To achieve the perfect fit, we recommend measuring from the bottom of one ear, across the top of the head, to the bottom of the other ear. Feel free to adjust the body length based on personal preference for an ideal fit. **MATERIALS** For this lovely pattern, you'll need yarn such as Trusty Fingering by Plucky Knitter, which is a fingering weight yarn made from 100% Merino wool (375 yds/skein). For this project, we suggest using the main color (MC): Pinky Swear (a beautiful shade of purple), which will require approximately 65 yards. **GAUGE** Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for this headband. Aim for 22 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the cable pattern to ensure a perfect fit and beautiful texture. **NOTE** The Datters Headband is constructed flat, featuring odd rows worked on the right side (RS) and even rows on the wrong side (WS).
