Knitted Braid Headband

Cute, easy, and quick. This headband is everything you've been looking for! Be wary when making this though, because people see it and want you to make one for them as well. Which would be great if you have an i-cord maker and are looking for a new i-cord project. You could whip one of these out in a few minutes and make one for everybody.

This pattern is designed for an adult. You can make it to fit a child just by making the i-cords shorter. Try measuring the child's head and subtract an inch (so you can tie it on nice an snug). I'd also love to make some bracelets this way, by making the i-cords 5" long.

Materials:
Appx. 200 yards Aran or Worsted weight yarn
Two size 4 double pointed needles

I-cord (make 3):
leaving 10" tail, cast on 4 stitches,
*do not turn, knit 4*
repeat this row until your cord measures 20"

cut yarn leaving a 10" tail, and thread through 4 stitches on needle pulling them together.

*Tie the 3 i-cords together at one end. Braid the tails and tie a knot.* repeat on other end
