How to knit a headband with a twist | Knitting tutorial

In this tutorial, I will show you how to knit a headband with a twist in English rib. It's a beautiful and warm accessory, that will keep your ears warm. It's also a fast and easy project to knit. This headband is knit back and forth, I knit in the Continental style, but you can easily knit in the English style - the pattern stays the same.

Written tutorial with pictures can be found in my blog here:

Contents:
00:27 - Cast on
02:14 - Row 1 (foundation row)
04:11 - Row 2
05:34 - Bind off
07:38 - The twist
*******************************************************************************************

MATERIALS:
Yarn - light worsted yarn. I chose Lima by Drops (1.8 oz = approx 109 yards (50 g = approx 100 m). I've used less, than 1 skein.

Needles - 3.5mm (US4/UK9). I used 40cm (16″) circular needles.

Scissors - I just love the peacock scissors (small, sharp, cute and have a comfortable grip)

Tapestry needle
*******************************************************************************************

SIZE:
Adult fit, head circumference: 56-58cm (22"-22.5"). If you want to change the width - cast on more/fewer stitches, but a total stitch count must be a multiple of 3.

Really clear tutorial, Mirella. I had knitted a headband and couldn't work out the twist. Now done - thanks again.

I didn't knit since middle school, but I made this in 2 days and it turned out super nice! Now I want to knit myself a beanie. And a scarf. But first, I need to rest my wrist, because it was not ready for this. Thanks for this easy-to-understand tutorial!

I’ve made 5 of these and they turned out great! I much prefer it to be 20” long, so it feels better on my head. Also when binding off, I started by k2tog then purled the next stitch, etc., then I knit the last 2 stitches together. It made the bind off a bit thicker so it didn’t have a hole at the corners. Thank you SO much! It’s soft, flexible, warm and also makes a great neck warmer when you pull it down. I also made a few stitches on each side of the twist after seaming to keep it staying flat so it doesn’t get accidentally put on with the seam on top

I hadn't learnt the English rib stitch before and I couldn't understand how it would work as a rib. Now I love it and the clean edges too. Project complete, ears warm. Thanks :)

[crazmom]

I started my headband last night and finished it today. It's so easy and it looks fabulous!!!! Thanks!!!!

[larissachrist]

Just finished this with no problems, even as a beginner (i am more into crochet but i really wanted to try knitting as well). Thanks for the tutorial :)

[mosslathrop]

why r there dislikes?? i am so confused?? this is a great video which only deserves love!! thankyou for the tutorial!!!!

[MarzeyMou]

Thanks so much for the video. I was making this at 5am after being up all night with my baby. I wouldn't have been able to figure it out if it wasn't for your excellent demonstration.

[rachelleschmidt]

Thank you! Very happy with how my headband turned out.

[deannamccloud]

This pattern was hard for me to do as a beginner so if there are any beginners out there wanting to achieve a similar pattern do the following:
cast on 30 stitches
P2, K1, P2, K1, P2, K1...
then pearl the pearls and knit the knits.
You'll get almost the identical pattern but its just easier to handle when you are just starting. Happy knitting!
