FREE Knitting Pattern – Melissa’s Headband

The Melissa Headband knitting pattern is a fun cable knit headband to keep you warm this winter. With a provisional cast on and grafting in pattern, it’s virtually seamless even though it’s knitted flat.

Initially, I knitted this headband as a Christmas present for my sister, Melissa, but I absolutely fell in love with it and knew I had to write the pattern down. The cables add interest, and with no bulky, ugly seam it really does look good. It’s a nice unisex headband that will keep your ears warm without giving you hat hair.

It requires 1 skein of worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease), 1-2 yards of scrap yarn, size US 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles, size US E/4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for grafting and weaving.
