Bournlet is a fun little cabled headband that’s designed to be knitted with whatever yarn you have to hand. It’s worked flat, beginning with a provisional cast-on. A section of ribbing for the back of the head reduces the width of the headband. It’s then worked in very simple, easy-to-remember cable pattern until the desired length, then the ends are grafted together.

It’s a great way to use up scraps of whatever yarn leftovers you may have, and is a satisfyingly speedy project!

Measurements:
Width: 4 cm / 1.5” (dependent on yarn weight)
Circumference: Customisable

The sample shown is 46 cm / 18” circumference worn with 8 cm / 3.25” negative ease.

 

Yarn: For the cream sample I used two strands of unspun yarn held together for a roughly aran weight. However, use any yarn you’d like; a finer yarn will make a narrower headband and a chunkier yarn will make a wider one. It’s the perfect chance to use up leftovers!

Approximately 15–20g yarn

Gauge: 12 sts of cable chart measure 4 cm / 1.5” wide (not essential)

Needles:
For aran weight yarn:

3.5 mm / US 4 needles (or needle a few sizes smaller than main needle)
5 mm / US 8 needles or whatever size needles work well for the cable pattern with the yarn you’ve chosen

Notions: Scrap yarn, darning needle
