The pattern includes three different lace stitches. These headbands are quick to knit and great for using up left over yarn. They also make a fantastic project for someone who is new to lace knitting. It’s a chance to practice working yarn forwards, yarn around needle, slipping stitches and working two together, without worrying about shaping or having a lot of stitches in each row.

To fit head: 52 (53-55-56) cm 20½ (21-21¾-22) inches.

Yarn required:
Headband 1: approx 19 (19-20-20) grams of pure wool 8ply double knitting yarn.
Headband 2: approx 14 (14-15-15) grams of pure wool 8ply double knitting yarn.
Headband 3: approx 17 (17-18-18) grams of pure wool 8ply double knitting yarn.

Needles required: A pair of 5.00mm (UK 6, US 8) knitting needles.
Wool needle for sewing up.

Tension is not important for these headbands. These headbands are worked on larger needles than usually recommended as this gives a more open lace pattern.

Pattern rating: Easy.
