But, I'm not opposed to trying something simple. This headband will keep your ears toasty warm and you'll look great too! So, here is my first attempt at my very own pattern - albeit very, very simple.
Alpaca Headband
Yarn: Misti Alpaca Hand Painted Chunky; 100% Baby Alpaca - Color: Havasu
Amount: approximately 40 yards
Gauge: 3.5 stitches per inch on size 10 needles.
Finished Dimension: (approximate) 2.75 x 18 inches (will fit up to 23 inch circumference when worn as pictured above)
Please note: I used size 10.5 needles for this headband.
Cast on 11 stitches
Work back and forth in knit stitch - slip the first stitch in each row knitwise to produce a nice edge.
Work until approximate length
Seam the two ends using preferred method. This web site offers several techniques for seaming: http://www.knitsimplemag.com/node/18

Hi,
Knitting pattern Central is one of my favourites, too, and I would also love to publish a pattern one day!!
I am making a cowl in Drops Eskino (super chunkey), and have been hoping I'll have enough over for a headband.
Your patterns should hit the spot niceley for this - many thanks.
If I do make it. I'll post a pic on Ravelry and let you have the link (if I can master the technology, that is).
Happy knitting, and keep designing.

Thanks for your pattern! This was my first completed knitting project, and I loved it because it only took one day.
I made a mistake and accidentally did the slip stitch at the end of each row not the beginning so the edge isn't as smooth but I really like it still :)
