HEADBAND OVERVIEW
This twisted lace headband is a quick knitting project. It is knit flat and the shorter edges are seamed together forming a twist.
The pattern features a combination of lace stripes and the edges of the headband are worked in garter stitch.
And you will need less than one skein of yarn for this project.
This cowl matches my other pattern – Twisted Lace Headband, together they make a beautiful fall set.
Measurements: To fit women’s medium (54-56 cm/ 21 3/4 – 22″), but it is quite stretchy.
If you are knitting for a smaller/bigger circumference just knit fewer/ more rows.
Finished size: 10cm (4″) wide and 22.5 cm (8.6″) long.
Gauge is not important for this project.
You will find the free knitting pattern below. Enjoy!

Step 3: Now insert one edge into another. Make sure, that the yarn tail is on the outside, and not in between the layers.
