Knit a Diamond Cable Headband!

This is  lovely little headband that you can utilise your beginners cable techniques on.  It only has 20 row of 24 stitches each so it shouldn't take you very long at all!  I knitted two of these in a few hours as a present for my mam.  This is knitted length wise so it does knit up very nicely.  It means if you want to add colour or stripes it would be easiest to do it vertically but I tend to keep it pretty plain because of the pretty cable design!

Less than 50g of chunky or super chunky wool

10mm needles (US size 15)

Knitter's sewing needle
