Headband Earwarmer with Chunky Rope Cable

This beautiful knitting pattern is deceptively simple and is perfect for intermediate beginners eager to try their hand at cabling. Your friends will be amazed by the stunning results, thinking you’ve mastered a complex technique! This headband is an ideal practice piece for new knitters since it requires no shaping. This allows you to focus entirely on honing your cabling skills and getting comfortable with the pattern structure.

To create this stylish headband, you will need one pair of 10mm knitting needles (US size 15), a reliable cable needle, and approximately 49 yards (45 meters) of Super Chunky yarn. The yarn should knit to a gauge of 9 stitches by 12 rows, which equals a 4" x 4" (10 x 10cm) square. I personally recommend Sirdar Big Softie for its softness and ease of use, but Drops Eskimo is another fantastic option. With just one skein of either yarn, you'll have more than enough material to complete this gorgeous headband.

All of my knitting patterns are professionally edited and feature detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. You'll also find helpful color photographs throughout the pattern alongside clear graphs to assist you in your knitting journey. Dive into this fun and rewarding project today, and add a stylish handmade accessory to your wardrobe!
