Thrummed Headband Knitting PatternBrenda Forbes
Materials:
Small amount of worsted weight yarnRoving Double point needles appropriate to yarn Gauge: 20 sts=4" Instructions: Using provisional cast on and waste yarn, CO 100 sts. Divide over 4 needles and join. Change to project yarn. Knit in k2, p2 rib for 1½", increasing 5 st evenly across last round. Knit 2 rounds even. Begin thrum pattern *Row 1: Knit a thrum into every third st, beginning with the first st on needle 1. Row 2: Knit, ensuring you knit into the back of every thrummed st Rows 3 & 4: Knit Repeat from row 1. Work this for 3 inches (about 5 pattern repeats), decreasing 5 st evenly across last row. Work k2, p2 ribbing for 1½". Kitchener stitch the edges of the ribbing together. This will enclose the thrums, and also give a lot of stretch to the headband. Before seaming, pull on the tails of the thrums, to set them in tight and even them out. ©Brenda Forbes.
