Mariette Headband with Cables Knittingpattern for head circumferences XS-XL

Mariette is the smaller version of Maria, a headband decorated with a bold cable pattern going around the head. It is knitted with a thinner yarn and smaller needles so that the headband is 9 cm / 3.5‘‘ wide instead of 12 cm / 4.75‘‘.

The headband is knitted transversal. Therefore it can be easily adjusted to larger head circumferences. Knitted in virgin wool it will be the perfect headband for colder days.
