Bricks headband

Bricks Knitted Headband by Marija Korac

What is Being Made

The Bricks headband is a reversible knitted accessory designed as a transitional piece for changing seasons between no-hat and hat weather. This versatile headband features a decorative button that allows it to be worn in two different ways, making it a practical and stylish addition to autumn outfits. The pattern is suitable for beginners and comes in three sizes: S, M, and L, with head circumferences ranging from 52–54 cm (20–21″) for size S, 54–56 cm (21–22″) for size M, and size L also available.

Knitting Techniques and Construction

This headband showcases a repeating brick pattern that serves as both the design inspiration and the construction method. The pattern's reversible nature means both sides are visually interesting and wearable, eliminating the need to hide an unfinished back. An i-cord trim is incorporated to give the headband a nice and elegant appearance, adding a professional finishing touch to the edges. The combination of the brick stitch pattern with the i-cord edging creates a polished, refined look while remaining accessible for beginner knitters.

Stitches Used

• Brick pattern (repeating stitch motif that forms the main fabric)
• I-cord (for decorative edging and elegant finish)

Materials and Specifications

The Bricks headband is worked with sport weight yarn, requiring only 1 skein of 50 g (1.76 oz), which yields 125 m (137 yd) of yardage.
