Robusta Headband

This charming headband features playful bobbles that evoke the texture and warmth of roasted coffee beans. Crafted in soft merino wool, this stylish accessory is not only a joy to knit but also incredibly comfortable to wear! Perfect for both children and adults, this patterned headband combines fashion and function, making it an essential addition to your winter wardrobe.

Skill Level: This headband pattern is ideal for those with a beginner to intermediate skill level, making it accessible for aspiring knitters looking to expand their repertoire.

Finished Dimensions: The design fits a head circumference of 20 inches (50 cm) to 22 inches (55 cm), catering to both kids and adults alike. The versatility of this headband means it can be a delightful gift for family and friends or a stylish accessory for yourself!

Yarn: This pattern calls for a worsted weight yarn, size 4. You will need approximately 1.5 oz (45 g) or 70 y (65 m). I used 1 skein of Big Merino by Drops (50 g) to achieve the perfect texture and warmth.

Needles: For this project, you will need straight needles sized 3.75 mm (US 5) or another size to obtain the correct gauge. Ensure that your needle choice complements the yarn for the best results.

Other Materials: In addition to yarn and needles, you will require a 1-inch snap or button, along with a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

Gauge: To ensure your headband fits correctly, aim for a gauge of 10 stitches and 20 rows = 2 inches in garter stitch. Be sure to check your gauge to save time and achieve the perfect fit!

This playful headband is an excellent knitting project to enhance your skills while creating a cozy and fashionable accessory. Enjoy the satisfaction of wearing a piece you've crafted yourself!
