Trinity's Pointelle lace headband

Trinity's Pointelle Lace Headband

I made this headband for my daughter, I have seen alot of different patterns for headbands but not really anything that just jumped out and said make me... make me. So, I decided to design my own pattern and I thought what the heck I'll just share the pattern for anyone who would like to make one.





Size:Toddler
15" long before sewing ends together

Yarn: Fleece artist in pale pink colorway
needles: size 1 addi turbo circulars or you may use double pointed needels or straits if you choose.
Guauge: 9sts= 1" in stockinette stich. although gauge is not crucial to the outcome of the headband going up or down in needle size will result in smaller or larger headband.
