If this pattern is so popular, has this “Purl-section error” and is SO POORLY WRITTEN. The ONLY instructions are: “Row 1 (RS): K1 (garter edge), * K2, P1 * 5 times – finish row with K2 and K1 (garter edge), and Row 2 (WS): K1 (garter edge), * P2, K1 * 5 times – finish row with P2 and K1 (garter edge). We are left to figure out and change, HOW MANY ROWS? These are errata! IT’S TIME FOR DROPS TO REWRITE THE PATTERN!!! PLEASE! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

Dear Mrs The SKEINdinavian, we are very sorry to hear you have worries with this popular pattern. Just repeat the 2 rows until piece measures 8 cm (the number of rows will depend on your tension in height), then increase 1 stitch in each P-section seen from RS = there are now 24 sts. Continue with K over K and P over P and repeat the decreases when piece measures 14, 18, and 21 cm. Insert a marker at 24 cm (=middle of piece) then continue with K over K and P over P decreasing this time after 3, 6, 10, and 16 cm from marker. Happy knitting!

Lättstickat pannband. Det som var tråkigt var att det inte räckte med 50g. Så jag rekommenderar att beställa 100g.

Totally agree with Lindsay....I gave up after trying to understand what appears to be an easy pattern in the picture.

I understand that we are suppose to increase on purl stitch. So when increasing to 24 stitches do you do it gradually or all at once in that 1st row of the increase. I am just a little confused. Thanks Maria
04.12.2018 - 04:24DROPS Design answered:
Dear Maria, when piece measures 8 cm, you will increase 1 st in each P-section = there are 5 P-sections (= 19 sts) you will increase 5 sts (=24 sts) and you will now work (seen from RS): K1 (edge st), *K2,P2* and finish with K2, K1. On next increase row, increase 1 more P stitch (= K2/P3) and so on. Happy knitting!

Hola! me gustaría saber cómo hacer las disminuciones en este patrón, ya que viene el vídeo específico de cómo hacer los aumentos pero no qué tipo de disminuciones hacer. Gracias!

Hola Paula. En este modelo para las disminuciones se trabajan 2 puntos juntos de revés.

I have made this headband at least 10 times. Easy pattern, despite what others say, and gorgeous results. I first made it as a beginner knitter. Thank you!

Thank you for this pattern. I\'m fairly new to knitting and was determined to complete this project. It was a bit challenging but I did complete it after restarting several times and rereading your posts. I love the headband! Hang in there knitters, it really is simple once you allow yourself to absorb the directions. Thank you!

How much negative ease should I work into the length? I know that "one size" will be too small for the person I want to knit this for (59cm head), but I don't want to accidentally not leave enough ease. Would working to 54cm be long enough, or too long?
19.10.2018 - 05:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Christine, you can check measurements when you have worked half the piece how much it will extend to stay comfortable (without tighten but still keeping in place). Do not hesitate to request further assistance from your DROPS store, even per mail or telephone. Happy knitting!

Bonjour, Je suis débutante et je me demandais si l\'échantillon, il fallait le faire en point mousse ou en jersey. Je ne trouve pas cette précision. Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse.

Bonjour Zattara, l'échantillon se tricote ici en jersey. Bon tricot!

I agree with Susan and Lindsay, wholeheartedly! The responding Drops Design employee should be doing tech editing and pattern writing. I find so many errors in Drops patterns... and others. Is it really so hard to edit patterns? NO!!! I speak from experience.
