Self-Striping Headband by Lauren / Valkyrie Fibers

Lauren of Valkyrie Fibers wrote this simple headband pattern to knit with her self-striping sock yarns!

Instructions:

Gauge: not important. Aim for 6 to 8 sts per inch.

Using a provisional cast on, cast on 66 stitches. Join in the round. 

Rounds 1-3: K all.

Round 4: *K2tog, k2tog, yo, k, yo, k, yo, k, yo , ssk, skk), rep from * six times total.

Repeat Rounds 1-4 until your headback is long enough to fit around your head. 

Round 5: K33. 

Remove provisional cast on and place live stitches on a needle. 

Cut working yarn, leaving a long tail for grafting. Add a twist (optional), and graft the headband shut.
