Introducing the Elegant Cable Headband—a stunning accessory to complement your Totally Cabled Mitts. This beautifully designed headband features intricate cable patterns, making it a stylish yet functional piece for any knitwear collection. Whether you’re looking to keep warm during chilly days or add a touch of sophistication to your outfit, this headband is the perfect solution!

Skills Required: To create this exquisite headband, you will need to have a solid understanding of knitting techniques. Essential skills include the ability to knit and purl, knit and purl through the back loop, and work with cables. If you’re comfortable with these techniques, you’ll find this pattern enjoyable and rewarding!

Size Options: The pattern is thoughtfully designed with two width options: choose between 4” (10 cm) or 5” (12.5 cm) for the perfect fit. Additionally, it comes in four sizes to accommodate various head circumferences: XS (19-20” / 48-50 cm), S (20-21” / 50-53 cm), M (21-22” / 53-55 cm), and L (22-23” / 55-58 cm). The finished sizes, when laid flat, measure 4” (10 cm) or 5” (12.5 cm) in width and 16.5” (42 cm) for XS, up to 19.5” (49.5 cm) for L in circumference.

Materials Needed: For this knitting project, you'll require DK or light worsted weight yarn. The yardage needed varies based on the width selected:

• For 4” (10 cm) wide: 77 yd (70 m) for XS, 85 yd (77 m) for S, 92 yd (84 m) for M, and 99 yd (90 m) for L.
• For 5” (12.5 cm) wide: 95 yd (86 m) for XS, 104 yd (94 m) for S, 112 yd (102 m) for M, and 121 yd (110 m) for L.

You'll also need a set of size US 6 (4 mm) straight or circular needles, a cable needle for those intricate designs, and a tapestry needle to weave in loose ends.

Gauge: Achieve the right look by maintaining a gauge of 28 stitches and 30 rows = 4” (10 cm) in the cable stitch pattern, slightly stretched. This ensures your headband fits as beautifully as it looks!

With its modern design and cozy warmth, the Elegant Cable Headband is an exciting knitting project that you'll enjoy wearing or gifting. Grab your materials today and elevate your knitting skills while creating an eye-catching accessory!
