The Chaff Headband is a simple accessory meant to use up scrap sock yarn. The headband begins with a provisional cast on and garter stitch border, then is knit flat in lacy cabled pattern. It was designed with negative ease so that it will stay in place. The sizing is easily adjustable to fit any head size. When finishing, you can choose the three-needle bind off or Kitchener stitch.
