Hi Lisa, to knit items with small circumference it is best to use circular needles with a long cord (100cm will work perfectly fine, but 80cm will be a bit more comfortable) and the Magic Loop method. You can watch this video, where I use this technique:

You can also use double-pointed needles.

1st time of using circular needles, and have the 4.0mm size with 100cm tail. (using your suggested yarn)
but with just 56 stitches I find it impossible to knit in a round as I seem to have not enough stitches to go round to join & ended up with just a piece of yarn stretching across the middle so that I can start the next row. what am I doing wrong

Hello! SSK means – slip slip knit, it is a left-leaning decrease. You slip the stitches to change their orientation, so when you knit them together they lean to the left, and not to the right. You could search for an tutorial online 🙂

Hallo, bedeutet SSK tatsächlich 2 Machen ungestrickt abheben und danach 2 zusammenstricken? Gibt es vielleicht irgendwo im Netz noch eine leicht verständlichere Anleitung zu diesem Muster? Nach Reihe 6 musste ich alles wieder aufmachen da die 6. Reihe mit K6 und P2 nicht mehr aufging. K bedeutet doch rechte Maschen? Ich bin verwirrt:-(

Thank you for your feedback!
I’d recommend making the headband narrower, do 5 pattern repeat instead of 7. To do so you will cast on 40 stitches, and knit until your reach about 17.5″ inches in length.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for this beautiful pattern 🙂 I’ve had my eye on it for a while and decided to finally start it! I plan to make this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old niece. How should I adjust the number of stitches that I cast on, to make it proportional to her head? Thank you!

Hello, Gillian,
Sure, you can knit this headband flat on two needles.
1. I’d recommend casting on the required 56 sts + 2 additional stitches to form a selvedge edge(a total of 58 sts) and neatly seam the tube when you are finished knitting.
2. Since you’ll work flat and turn your knitting, you will have a wrong side, so the even rows will differ from the pattern. You will simply work the stitches as they appear – knit over knit stitches, and purl over purl stitches, yarn overs, and 2 stitches knit together.

I’d love to make this but can’t get on with circular knitting. Can this be knitted on two needles?

In reply to GA. Hi, do you mean the ends of the headband? You'll be knitting a tube in the round, so you'll end up with a long rectangle with two ends, that you will sew together.
