GAUGE:
One Headband Strip = 1 in. [2.5 cm] wide. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
HEADBAND STRIP (make 3) With 1 strand A and 1 strand B held together, cast on 5 stitches.
Row 1: Knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, knit 1. Row 2: Purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl 1.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until Strip measures 12 in. [30.5 cm] from beginning. Bind off.
Finishing
Place 3 Strips on top of one another and sew together at one end. Braid Strips, and then sew
together at other end. Weave in ends. Cut ribbon length in half, sew one half to each end of
Headband.
Braided Headband Reviewed by Kathy Rech on 2013-01-29
I made this many times. It's a nice headband, everyone likes these. I like it better than the ones that use the thick & quick, though of course probably not as warm in the winter....
