Cable Headband Knitting Pattern – Easy for Beginners

Hi everyone, it's Andrea! Many of you know me from my YouTube channel, and now there's a matching written pattern to go along with this video – perfect for printing out and taking with you.

The cable looks harder than it is. The pattern consists of just 6 simple rows that repeat over and over, and you only cable on one row. The headband is knitted flat in rows and sewn together at the end, so you get a beautiful interlaced detail at the center front.

This is a written pattern that also includes a knitting chart and a free video tutorial, so you can follow every step exactly. I wish you lots of joy knitting, wearing or gifting it! Thanks to the video tutorial, also suitable for beginners.
Please note: This pattern uses US knitting terms.
