The Amber Headband

Headband overview

The Amber headband is a cute accessory, that you can knit in an evening.

The headband is knitted flat (back and forth) with soft merino wool. The design features a combination of delicate lace stripes and slipped stitches. 

The edges of the headband are sewn together, creating a twist, so there are no visible seams.

Measurements: 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.

Gauge is not really important for this project.

Finished size: 10cm (4″) wide and 24.5cm (9.6″) long.

You will find the free knitting pattern below. Enjoy!

  • Cascade 220 Superwash Merino
  • KNIT PICKS Swish Worsted
  • ROWAN Pure Wool Worsted
  • Needles: 4.5mm (US7) knitting needles.
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Bind off

Bind off sts knitwise.

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

Step 2: Knit 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 blocking 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,

Do you have a video tutorial in the Amber Headband? I have tried following your pattern but it doesn’t come out right. Thanks.

Hi Mirella,
I’m having a bit of an issue. My jokes look different. I think the issue is the yo before the p2 in row 1. Any advice here?

Bless you, what a lovely pattern! I am looking forward to making this for me and maybe for Christmas gifts. But even better, you gave us alternative yarns. I was able to find your yarn on-line but was familiar with it and had worked with 2 of the 3 alternatives you gave so I will probably go with what I know and probably have some in my stash. It is so hard determining an alternative to a yarn that isn’t available easily because you just have no idea of its personality. Off to my stash! Many thanks for a beautiful pattern.

I love this pattern but before I start I have a question. If you are repeating row one and are doing a knit two together and ssk won’t the band get smaller and smaller as you continue to knit the length? I don’t see what you do to add those two stitches back in on row two. Thank you.

    Hi Toni, the number of stitches doesn’t change due to yarn overs (YO in the pattern). There is a yarn over after K2Tog and a yarn over before SSK, this way there are always 21 stitches on the needle.

Hi Mirella! I’m trying to make this lovely pattern but it isn’t coming out right. Instead of getting 2 eyelets roughly next to each other I get 1 eyelet and a bump. This happens in both “columns” where the eyelets go. Looking at your pictures I’d expect the second row of the repeat to have YOs and SSK or K2tog to form the missing eyelets. Could you please help me see why I’m only getting half the eyelets? Thank you! 🙂

    Hi Christina, you are right – I’ve somehow missed the instructions for the 3rd and 4th rows. I’m sorry about that, I’ve added them now. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Hi, is there a way to print out your lovely patterns without the whole page of ads? I’ve looked and cannot find anything that says “print”. Thank You Very Much
