Week 4 of the Winter KAL 2020 involves brioche knitting.
Brioche knitting is a family of knitting patterns involving tucked stitches, i.e., yarn overs that are knitted together with a slipped stitch from the previous row. Such stitches may also be made by knitting into the row below and dropping the stitch above.
This type of knitting leads to a thick and ribbed pattern which is perfect for shawls and sweaters and anything warm.
The headband has a very elegant and chic twist in the middle (a clever way to hide the seam!).
You can easily match your headband to your outfit.
Knit headband
The pattern is worked back and forth and is very easy to memorize, which makes it a quick project. You can also find a video tutorial of this headband at the end of the written instructions.
I hope you will enjoy knitting this headband with a twist!
To knit the headband you will need:
DK or worsted weight yarn, 4 or 5 mm knitting needles, tapestry needle
Pattern:
Cast on about 20 stitches (customisable) using long tail cast on
Row 1 (foundation row): Yarn over, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 2 together, repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Row 2: Yarn over, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit yarn over and the slipped stitch together, repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
Work row 2 for 20 inches or desired length.
Bind off loosely.
See the video for the twist
Fold into half, sandwich together and sew in all the four edges. Invert it to reveal twist.
Happy knitting!!
