Bonnie Earwarmer Headband ~
For Aran weight OR DK yarn
Use Aran weight yarn for a cosy Earwarmer !
Requires:
5mm needles
Aran weight yarn –
around 40g
Cable needle
Tension:
18sts = 4” (10cm)
Size:
Width – 5” (12.5cm)
Length – 18” (easy
to adjust)
Or DK yarn for a lighter Earwarmer
Requires:
4mm needles
DK yarn – around
20g
Cable needle
Tension:
22sts = 4” (10cm)
Size:
Width – 4” (10cm)
Length – 18” (easy
to adjust)
Top Tip ~ C4 means cable 4
stitches– slip the next 2 stitches on to a cable needle and hold at the
back or the front of your work (whichever you find easiest). Knit
2sts, then the 2sts from the cable needle.
It doesn’t matter if
you cable back or front – as long as you are consistent throughout.
There are 2 cables
– you can cable them both the same way OR cable one back and cable one front if
you prefer.
Cast on 24sts
Row
1: K5, p2, k4, p2,
k4, p2, k5
Row
2: K7, p4, k2, p4, k7
Row
3: K5, p2, C4, p2,
C4, p2, k5
Row 4: K7,
p4, k2, p4, k7
Repeat these last 4
rows until your work measure 18” from the cast on edge for an average size
woman’s head – ending after working a Row 3.
It is easy to
adjust the length.
Cast off
Join the cast on
and cast off edges with a short seam.
Darn away ends
To make other sizes ~
Measure the head, then subtract 3” and work until that length.
