Materials & Notes

Yarn:

• use any yarn you like! A sock weight up to a worsted weight yarn will work nicely. The thicker the yarn, the thicker the headband, and vice versa. A headband will use approximately 23-35 yards of yarn
• Malabrigo Sock (hand-dyed yarn) in color Ochre (similar to headband that model wears)
• Recommended Needles: double pointed needles or circular needle that is slightly smaller than recommended needle size for yarn

Materials:

• one or two good-quality hair elastics
• tapestry needle
• scissors
• tape measure

Instructions

Using DPNs or circular needles, cast on 3 sts (or 4 sts if using sock weight yarn).

Knit an i-cord that measures 15.5” and cut yarn, leaving a 7” tail. Secure the i-cord by weaving yarn through stitches on the needle.

Make two more identical i-cords for a total of three i-cords.

Knot the three i-cords together and braid to end. Knot the end to secure the braid.

Attach both ends to hair elastic(s), making sure not to twist the braid.

Enjoy!
