Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight yarn, 100g
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 24 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of the headband.
2. Garter Stitch Rows:
   • Rows 1-4: Knit all stitches across each row. This creates a garter stitch border that will give your headband a nice texture.
3. Ribbing Pattern:
   • Row 5: K1, *p2, k2; repeat from * to the last stitch, k1. This creates the ribbed texture that will add depth to your headband.
   • Row 6: P1, *k2, p2; repeat from * to the last stitch, p1. This alternating pattern will continue to build the ribbing.
4. Repeat Ribbing: Continue repeating Rows 5 and 6 until the piece measures approximately 18 inches in length. Make sure to measure from the cast-on edge to ensure accuracy.
5. Create the Twist: Once your piece measures 18 inches, lay it flat on a surface. Take the right end of the headband and twist it 180 degrees. Bring the two ends together, aligning them neatly.
6. Seaming: Use the mattress stitch to seam the ends of the headband together. This stitch creates an invisible seam, ensuring that your headband looks polished and professional. To do this, thread your yarn needle with a length of yarn, and insert it into the edge stitches of both pieces, alternating between them until you reach the end.
7. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to hide them within the stitches. This will give your headband a clean finish.
8. Blocking: Gently block your headband to shape it. This step helps to even out the stitches and gives the headband a polished look. Lay it flat on a clean surface and lightly mist with water, then reshape it to the desired dimensions.

Congratulations! You have successfully knitted your very own Twisted Harmony Knot Headband. Enjoy wearing this beautiful accessory or gifting it to someone special!
