HEADBAND OVERVIEW

The Yarrow headband

The Yarrow headband is a quick and easy knitting project. 

The headband is knitted flat back and forth with soft merino wool. The design is quite simple, it uses knit and purl stitches.

The edges of the headband are sewn together forming a twist. There are no visible seams.

The headband will look great with a matching scarf – The Yarrow Scarf.

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: 21 stitches x 34 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4″ ) in pattern after blocking.

Gauge is not that important for this project.

Finished size: 12 cm (43/4″) wide and 24.5 cm (9.6″) long.

You will find the free knitting pattern below. Enjoy!

I used Drops Merino Extra Fine in the color light yellow (24). It’s 100% merino wool.

  • DEBBIE BLISS Rialto DK
  • Katia merino 100%
  • Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Merino
  • Needles: 4mm (US6) knitting needles or size needed to obtain the gauge.
  • 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.

I always advise 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,
