The Birch headband has a simple design that is knit inside-out for ease and speed. Beginning with 9” circular needles or a set of double-pointed needles, you will traditionally cast on the required amount of stitches. You will knit the headband inside-out, flip it to the right-side, then three-needle bind off. Your headband will then be seamed together using the ‘X’ close method.
