Chunky Cable Knit Headband Pattern

Hello spring and those one who are waiting for something new from me. Today I’d like to share an exciting news – after a long time of hesitation I finally decided to open Crazy Hands Knitting YouTube channel and make free video tutorials with knit and crochet tips and tricks. I hope it will be helpful for folks taking first steps learning crochet and knitting art, but also for those who might find reading the pattern a bit cumbersome and would rather watch an easy to follow video. It is a bit hard to start anything from the scratch, but I am excited and determined to do it. As I keep shooting and uploading videos, I will try my best to improve the quality of each tutorial. Almost every single day I get asked questions about cables that I often use in my projects. Therefore, I decided to make this simple cable knit headband and show you how to make those lovely twists.

<> Knitting Needles 9 mm (US 13/ UK00);

<> Super chunky yarn – Lion Brand Wool, Ease Thick & Quick – 20% wool, 80% acrylic. Color of your choice. In total half of the skein

Common abbreviations of knitting stitches:

k – knit

p – purl

sel s – selvage stitch: always slip the first stitch purlwise, work to the last stitch, knit the last stitch
