(1) Order of Merlin Headband Pattern delivered digitally to the email address you use to check out. The email is sent from noreply@sendowl.com, make sure to check your junk mail after you place an order. Just like all of my “Order of Merlin” patterns, this is a really fun, easy to memorize pattern used throughout! It requires no cable needle and has 1 “special” stitch that I include written instructions and video tutorial. There are 2 options to knit this pattern: You can knit it in the round, which is a simpler pattern that any advanced beginner can accomplish! This is also a thicker headband so, it’s warmer for the wintertime. You can also choose the knit flat option. This is knit flat, which is more intermediate. You’re reading a charted pattern right side and wrong side, and it starts with a provisional cast on. This is only 1 layer of fabric, so it’s more for all season or even a summer headband accessory! SIZE The width of the pattern is the same for all sizes. You’ll want to knit the length of the headband to have 1-2” of negative ease so it is stretchy but fits snugly around the head and over the ears for warmth. Pattern has length suggestions if you do not have a recipient to measure. SIZE SUGGESTIONS The width of the pattern is the same for all sizes.
