Description: ►►► GRAB THE FREE HEADBAND PATTERN HERE: sheepandstitch.com/pattern/how-to-knit-a-twisted-headband-step-by-step-pattern This video covers two different headband styles with a simple and stylish twist. The first headband style is knit in Double Stockinette Stitch, which yields a warm double-layer of stockinette stitch. The resulting fabric is extra warm, and unlike regular stockinette stitch, it doesn’t curl! The second headband style is a classic Fisherman’s Rib. This stitch is super stretchy and looks wonderful knit into a headband. In this video, you'll learn how to knit these two headbands from beginning to end, including tips like how to insert a lifeline (very essential!) and how to size the headband for a perfect fit. This pattern is best for the adventurous beginner. These headbands are great last-minute gifts, so knit them up for the holidays!
