Having
traveled abroad twice in the past month and consequently spend some considerable amount of
time browsing Pinterest between flights, I developed a small itch to knit something small, something that
could be done in a couple of days, but also something useful. These are the
kind of itches that ladies ( and some gents get too ) when they have several
larger projects on the go, but miss the small thrill of casting on a new project
on their needles.
The weather
prediction was rain, heavy rain for the whole weekend, either way I had a cold
and I figured we would probably be spending the better part of Saturday and
Sunday indoor.
So I took a
look at my Pinterest board and found a simple, quick
knit headband. The pattern recommends using drops big Merino, but my local shop
didn’t have any so I just got a another type of wool that fitted a size
5 needle.
I simplified the pattern a bit by doing a simpler border instead of the seed knit stitch which is k,p,k,p.
For 1 headband you will need:
-
- Knitting needles size 5
-
- 1 ball of yarn
-
- 1 cable needle

The pattern was originally written in
Norwegian and can be found here: Pannebånd
