A rick rack rib headband with a sweet little twist, in Songbird Yarn & Fibres's sock weight European Bee-eater yarn.
To make the headband, work rick rack rib stitch (which requires a multiple of 3 stitches + 1) until the headband is nearly half the desired length. I used 37 stitches, sock yarn, US size 5 needles. Then continue in rick rack rib for the first 18 stitches of the row, make 1, and place the remaining 19 stitches on a stitch holder. Work this split section in pattern until it's about 2.5-3 inches long (I worked 15 rows total). Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Move the 19 held-back stitches from the stitch holder onto a needle and the stitches you were just working onto a stitch holder, and work that half the same number of rows. Keeping each size flat (right-side-facing), twist one section over the other and place all 38 stitches on one needle. Continue in rick rack rib, reducing by 1 stitch at the split in the first row only, until the headband is the desired length. Seam as desired and weave in ends. Comments are closed.
