This pattern is for a no-purl elegant ribbed headband with a classy twist. The pattern is written for two gauges - worsted and chunky. The headband is made by working a 5” x 19” rectangle in English rib pattern or other desired pattern. Headband is then folded, twisted and seamed accordion-style to make the twisted band.
