Irish Hiking Ear Warmer by Jellycrys

This is one easy and fast headband to knit. Please visit here for details.

Since I use provisional cast on, I always begin with WS and end with RS.

CO 14 sts

Row 2, 4, 6: K3 P K6, P K3
Row 8: K3 P C6F P K3

Hot Line by DROPS Design

This is probaby the easiest cable so far. What I like is we only do a row of cable every 12 rows! Yay!
Please visit here for details, I did a little modification from the original tutorial.

Using provisional cast on, I prefer to start with WS and end with RS.
CO 24 sts
(Note: Always begin and end with k2 for the border)
Row 1, 3, 5, 7, 9: k2 p5 k p4 k p5 k2

Modified Faux Three-Braided

This headband was modified from previous post here, because I like the pattern but hate the border.

Using provisional cast on, I prefer to start with WS and end with RS.

CO 25 sts

Row 1, 3, 5: k3 p1 k2 p6 k p6 k2 p1 k3

Row 2, 4: k4 p2 k6 p k6 p2 k4

Row 6: k4 p2 c6b p c6f p2 k4

Faux Three-Braided

At a glance, this pattern looked like three braided cable. I don't like the border for this headband, it's 3 sts garter and 3 sts purl. It tends to curl toward the right side even with garter stitch.
The pattern is 7 sts with 5 rows of k6 p k6 (from the right side), and a row of c6b p c6f. Pretty simple because we do a cable for every 6 rows.
