Lace Hair Bands - Free Pattern

Here are the patterns for two lovely lace hair bands knitted in Cascade Fixation, a lovely, very stretcy cotton yarn. These hairbans will fit any size head from child to adult (fitted my 8 year old daughter and me) and are quick and easy to make. Perfect pressies.

Needed:
1 ball of Cascade Fixation (will make several hair bands).
3.5mm or 4.5mm straight needles

Abbreviations:
CO – cast on
St – stitch/stitches
K – knit
P - purl
SSK – slip, slip, knit (slip 2 st from left to right needles and knit through both st).
K2tog – knit 2 st together
YO – Move yarn between needles to the front of the work and then over the right needle to the back of the work, thus creating a loop over the right needle which will make an extra stitch.
Sk2po – slip 1 st, k2tog, then pass the slipped st over the ‘k2tog’ – this will decrease 3 st to 1 st.
