A knit headband is small enough to fit in a spare bag or pocket and cozy enough to add a bit of warmth to your head on a hike or adventure around town. HIGH DESERT HEADBAND is a great project for practicing knit cables and showing off a bold color. A tied closure allows for an adjustable fit. The tapered shape is created with simple increases and decreases.
NOTE: This pattern is written, not charted, and includes detailed pictures for how to work the cable row.
