Wine Harvest Headband

The coming of autumn means many things, some welcome and some not. This gorgeous knitted headband pattern combines a little bit of both, bringing fall's rich color palette to bear against the growing chill. The Wine Harvest Headband is a deep burgundy in color, like the new wines pressed at the close of summer, that will bring both color and warmth into the coming cold of winter. Knit in garter stitch with straight needles, this simple pattern is a great knitting-for-beginners project that will help to ease new learners into the art.

Have made many of them, the only thing I changed was to use a provisional cast on and three needle bind off to make it virtually seamless. There appears to be some discrepancy about the way the model is wearing the headband in the picture, the model is in fact wearing it correctly, if it is turned the way another commenter suggested it covers the forehead, eyebrows and in some cases the eyes, not a good look in a headband.

I like how this pattern gets wider for the ears. So many of the headbands barely cover the ears. It uses a kfb to make the increases so it should be really easy to make. I may try to provisionally cast on so I can use a kitchener stitch to bind off and not have a seam. Can anyone think of a reason that would not work?

I have been looking for something like this for a couple of months now. I need something that will keep me warm, especially my ears, without completely smashing my hair flat. And the pattern is easy so I should be able to make it quickly and give it a try out right away. After reading the other comments, I think that I'll wear it like it is in the photo.

Reading all the comments shows just how versatile this headband is! You can wear it any way you want, I guess. I love the color, but I think it would also look beautiful in a variegated yarn in fall colors. I like to splurge and buy a more expensive yarn for a one-skein project like this one, maybe in a natural fiber. And I think a little knitted flower on the side would look really cute.

it is correct, you're covering your ears, that's the important bit here.

You aren't supposed to cover your face with it. lol you put the thinner part at the back of your hair, and then pull the thicker part up over your hair-- nevermind. I'm doing a horrible job of explaining what I mean

She's wearing it the right way. If she wore it any other way the wider part would cover her face and likely smother her!!

This picture is shown wearing the headband upside down! The narrow bit goes at the back on the neck so the wide bit covers more of the head . It looks silly like that.

It is right if you are wearing it under a baseball cap which is what this style is intended for. It covers your ears adequately and snugly while not coming down in your face in the front. There is not always just one way to use something use your imagination. What looks "silly" to you is perfectly logical to me.
