Faux Prada Chunky Knit Headband

I never thought I would attempt to rip off a Prada look, but when I saw this photo over on BurdaStyle of a chunky knit headband that Prada used on the runway, I wanted it. Bad.

Here's how I did it.

What You'll Need:
Size 15 needles
2 strands of worsted-weight yarn, held together throughout (I used cotton because it's better for warmer weather, but you can use any type of yarn you'd like.)
Cable needle

CO 13 stitches.

Row 1: Knit all stitches.
Row 2 and all even rows: Purl all stitches.
Row 3: K2, slip 3 sts onto cable and hold in front, k3, k3 off the cable, k5.
Row 5: K all sts
Row 7: K5, slip 3 sts onto cable and hold in back, k3, k3 off the cable, k2.

Repeat this pattern until the headband fits snugly on your head. Seam the BO and CO ends together.
