Winter Party Sparkle

Add a little bling to your winter warmth with this pretty sparkly headband. The beads are pre-strung on to lengths of laceweight yarn which is then knitted along with the main yarn in the cables in the fashion of intarsia-style knitting and the beads placed where you wish. The headband is worked flat, with I-cords added at the ends to tie the headband in place at the back. The headband measures approximately 4” (10cm) across. Exact gauge is difficult to measure, but the central 12-st cable section should measure approximately 1.5” (3.5cm) across. The length of the headband is adjustable to fit your head. As written the pattern is intended to fit an average adult woman’s head, but you can make it longer or shorter if necessary.

You will need approximately 120 yards of DK yarn, approximately 50 yards of lace weight yarn (separated into 3 bobbins), size 8/0 seed beads in the colour of your choice, in 2 different colour ways, a cable needle, a beading needle or other means of threadin
