DIY: BRAIDED HEADBAND


Ms. Sarah of disposable city commissioned me to knit her a braided cable headband. I made one for myself, and I've decided to post the pattern because it's just so fun and relatively simple to make.

Take wool yarn for US10 needles (so it's really really thick)
Cast on 14 stitches
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K1, slip 4 st on cable needle and place in FRONT, K next 4 on left needle, K4 on cable needle, K the rest of the row on left needle
Row 4: Purl
Row 5: Knit
Row 6: Purl
Row 7: K5, slip 4 st on cable needle and place in BACK, K next 4 on left needle, K4 on cable needle, K 1
Row9: Purl

Repeat Row 1 through 9 till desired length, bind off and whipstitch the ends together.
