Mock Cable Crochet Headband
"Add this Mock Cable Crochet Headband to your winter wardrobe today. You will need a super bulky (category #6) yarn for this pattern because it needs to have very few stitches per inch. The entire headband is only 8 sts wide, making it work up super quickly! Use up any super bulky yarn from your stash that gets gauge, although honestly even if your gauge is a bit off you can still use it – gauge only affects the width of the headband. Then you just work until it’s as long as the circumference you desire. Yarn: Super bulky yarn (category #6) Hook: US Size P (11.50mm) Notions: Yarn needle, scissors "
