Twisted Sisters Cabled Headband
This free crochet headband pattern is just what you need for that cool winter day, and it will work well into spring. It is perfect for those who love cables! The pattern is available in two sizes: for teens and for adults.
I love cables and am drawn to any project or stitch that includes them. I was talking with a friend the other day on this and couldn’t think of a name. She suggested Twisted Sisters because that is what we are. The name stuck.

NOTES
- When working the FPdc on the rows below, the same number of sc will remain unworked as FPdc are worked.
- Try to not hold tension too tight when working the cables as the work will pull and be difficult when working behind sts.
- Turning ch does not count as st.
