Headband overview

The Icicle Headband is a great accessory, that will keep you warm on cold days.

The headband features three cables on a reverse stockinette background with i-cord edges. The pattern is a simple 4-row repeat.

The headband is worked flat and the edges are sewn together.

This is a narrower version of the Green Forest Headband.

You will find the knitting instructions below.

Size: To fit women’s medium (54-56 cm/ 21 3/4 – 22″).

If you are knitting for a smaller/bigger circumference just knit fewer/ more rows.

  • Tapestry needle

Bind off

Bind off sts in pattern (knit over knit stitches, purl over purl stitches).

Step 1: Work 2, bring the first st over the second one.

Step 2: Work the next st, bring the first st over the second one.

Repeat step 2 until you have 1 stitch left, cut the yarn leaving a 30-40cm / 12-16″ tail to seam the headband. Draw the yarn tail through the last stitch and pull it snug.

You will find a detailed tutorial on how to bind off knitting HERE.

Twist

Step 1: With the right side facing you, bring the shorter edges closer together and fold each edge in half so they look like a “V”.

Step 2: Now insert one edge into another. Make sure, that the yarn tail is on the outside, and not in between the layers.

Step 3: Stitch through all 4 layers of knit fabric back and forth.

Finishing

Weave in all loose ends, and turn the headband the right side out.

Wet block the finished item, this process transforms the stitches, makes them look smoother and neater.

Simply soak the knitted item in lukewarm water with some soak wash for 10-15 minutes. Lift it from the water and gently squeeze the excess water out. Next, lay it on a clean towel, and roll it up to remove moisture.

Pin the item to a blocking board or lay it on a clean and dry towel (make sure it doesn’t transfer color) and let it dry. Your knitting will look much better after this.

 

I hope you enjoyed this headband knitting pattern, be sure to check out my other knitting patterns!

Thank you for stopping by,
