It is technically worked back and forth, but creates a seamless tube by working a seamless intarsia technique, which makes it look and feel as though it was worked in the round. This headband makes for a great project to explore or practice this method further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headband can be made in two versions: A plain version featuring 11 colourful shapes, or a twisted version with 9 colourful shapes and a centered, front twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGauge: 18 sts x 28 rows to 10 x 10cm (4 x 4in) in stockinette stitch using 5mm (US 8) needles, measured after washing and blocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 1 (2) are designed to fit a head circumference of approx. 54 – 58 (58 – 62) \/ 21.25 – 22.75 (22.75 – 24.5) inches.\u003cbr\u003eRecommended ease: 4 – 8 cm \/ 1.5 – 3 inches of negative ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements of the finished headband:\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 9.5 cm \/ 3.75 inches.\u003cbr\u003eCircumference: 49 (53) \/ 19.25 (20.75) inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intarsia Knits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022720749897,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0890\/5955\/7705\/files\/10_cf52e264-1665-4b92-89bd-137841eb397d.jpg?v=1773517526","url":"https:\/\/intarsiaknits.com\/products\/rainbow-intarsia-headband-knit-kit","provider":"Intarsia Knits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
