DAWN’S FAVORITE ANGORA HEADBAND

(The angora creates an extra warm and special headband)

MATERIALS 

15 grams = 50 yards Angora Yarn

(Angora usually is sold in 10 gr = 33 yard skeins so you will need 2 for 1 headband with some left over, however if you get 3 skeins of angora you will most likely have enough for 2 headbands)

15 grams = 50 yards of Worsted weight yarn

(I use Plymouth Encore which is 100 grams = 200 yards so you will most likely have enough for 4 headbands with the angora added or less if you choose not to add the angora to all of them)

Size 5 needles in your choice of either straight, 16” circular, OR a set of 4 double pointed needles.  You may work back and forth on straight needles and weave the two end together when finished or work with a circular needle or set of double pointed needles joining being careful not to twist your stitches and work in the round.

With worsted weight yarn

Cast on 88 stitches.

Work in ribbing of K2, P2 for about 2-1/2 inches

Cut worsted weight yarn

Join angora and continue working in ribbing for about another 2-1/2 inches

Bind off loosely

Fold in half lengthwise sewing seam to make double thickness

Headband can be worn on either side.

Enjoy!
