The Design

“Cabled cuteness!”

This little free pattern comes with a big twist! Worked in one-by-one ribbing, this cozy headband is completely reversible and features one big cable. Super cute whichever way you wear it! Our pattern includes instructions for both an adult size and child size—so you can match with your kiddo!

In fact, you can knit one adult headband and one child headband using just one skein of Madelinetosh A.S.A.P. This super soft, super-bulky, single-ply yarn is spun from 100% superwash merino wool that’s ethically sourced from Peru. It’s then hand-dyed in Texas, with all the brilliant color artistry for which Madelinetosh is known. Whether the variegations are subtly tonal, speckled, or a little more lively, each skein of A.S.A.P. is a work of art.
