I have been really enjoying working on my seamless headband project. My goal is to have 20 seamless headband patterns covering a variety of skills (with the eventual goal of publishing a knitting pattern book). It has taken a lot of work, and will continue to be a lot of work, but I love how it’s coming along.
With that, I’m incredibly happy to release one of my favorite headband patterns to date, the Double Braid Headband. This headband features a beautiful braid pattern that splits and crosses, giving an amazing turban style shape. The yarn choice and small gauge really helps the cable pattern shine while keeping you warm during cold months. It’s worked flat, but thanks to a provisional cast on and grafting in pattern, it turns out virtually seamless.
For this pattern, you’ll need:
- 1 skein of Loops & Threads Creme Cotton or yarn of choice – medium weight (4) At least 1 ½ yards of scrap yarn – medium weight
- US size 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles or size needed to obtain gauge
- Cable Needle
- Two Stitch Holders
- Tapestry Needle
- US size E/4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook
This pattern does use some advanced skills, including provisional cast on, grafting in pattern, and cable knitting.
This is a premium pattern rather than a free one, but in keeping with the spirit of making yarn crafting accessible, it’s an affordable price.
You can purchase the pattern on ravelry or etsy for $2.99.For a limited time, I’m offering $1 off this pattern for my readers. On either purchasing platform, enter code DOUBLEBRAID for the coupon code. Discount expires February 10th.
I hope you have a lot of fun knitting this headband and it keeps you warm this year!
Happy knitting!
