Adult Headband Knitting Pattern:

Gauge: 14 sts & 15 rows per 4” {10cm} square {knit flat}

CO 14 STS

Rows 1 – 55 (ODD rows, back): *P2, K2, P6, K2, P2*

Rows 2 – 54 (EVEN rows, front): *P4, K6, P4*

Rows 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48: *P4, C6F, P4*

Row 56: BO in pattern {meaning that you knit the knits and purl the purls just like you were doing in the body of the project.}

Sew CO & BO edges together.

No blocking necessary :)

If you’d like to make it longer follow the above pattern and BO on row 64.

Note: This was a little snug on my head at first {my head measures 21 1/2″ in circumference}, but it stretched out after wearing it a couple of times to fit perfectly ;)

Happy knitting my friends!
