Hot Ears Headband Designed By: Brandy Wolfe Size: finished size determined by preference Mine was about 3.5” x 21” (9cm x 53.5cm) Not including the ties Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran #300611 (red) , #08 (brown) 1 ball of each Needles: US size 6 / 4.0 mm or size needed to obtain gauge Gauge: 5.5 sts, 5 rows = 1inch (2.5cm) I love that the thickness of the stranded pattern adds insulation to keep your ears nice and warm – hence the name ☺ The only difficult portion of this pattern was figuring out how to do the decreases at the end while maintaining the integrity of the outside border color. I found that while still working the stranded section, I could do the decreases in the CC without messing up the pattern at all. This is different than the beginning of the headband where the increases are worked 1 st in from the edge. *you can slip all 1st sts for a neat edge.
Headband Pattern: CO 3 sts, work 3 stitch I-Cord for 5 inches (12.5cm) Row 1(RS): K1, M1R, K1, M1L, K1 Row 2 (WS): P all sts Row 3: K1, M1R, K3, M1L, K1 Row 4: P all sts Continue increasing in this manner until 19sts across. At the same time: Row 8: attach CC (contrast color) and begin working chart as shown. Follow pattern repeat (enclosed in box) until full width headband, 19 sts, covers ears: approx. 17.5” (44.5cm) for me this was 6 repeats
Work 6 more rows in stranded pattern and then work decreases as follows: Notice my little “<” mark beside the chart: this is whatever row you have chosen to start your decreases on after completing your repeatsshould be a RS row
At row “<”: K1, K2tog, K in patt to last 3 sts, K2tog, K1 **This is the only row with decreases not hidden in the CC.
All other decreases made during stranded work should be worked (In the CC) to maintain at least a 2 stitch MC border on the outside. At 3 sts remaining, work I-cord for 5 inches, Weave in ends. Wet block to keep edges from rolling too much.
