Pattern Overview
The Grapevine Headband is a beautiful fall and winter accessory.
The headband is knitted flat.
The pattern is an 8-row repeat. It features a 13-stitch lace panel in the middle flanked by two mirrored 1×1 cables on a reverse stockinette background.
The first and last 2 stitches form an i-cord edging, that makes the edges look neat and prevents them from curling.
The the cast-on and bind-off edges are seamed together forming a decorative twist in the middle. The seam is hidden by the twist and is not visible.
First, you will cast on the required number of stitches. Next, you will knit a long rectangle until you reach your desired length. Then you will bind off the stitches. After that you will seam the edges together to form the twist.

Repeat rows 1-8 until the headband measures 49 (51) 52.5cm/ 19.25 (20) 20.75in.
Bind off sts. Cut the yarn, leaving a 30cm (12″) tail for seaming.
At this step, it is best to wet block the finished headband and lay it flat to dry. Then weave in the cast-on tail.
Twist
Lay the headband flat. The right side should be facing you.
Thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry needle. Fold each end of the headband in half, so they form a “V”.
Place one edge into another, making sure the yarn tail is not in between the layers.
Sew through the four layers of fabric from one end to the other. Go back and forth, making sure you go through all the layers.
Weave in the yarn tail. Turn the headband inside out.
