Product Description
SUPER SIMPLE RIBBED HEADBAND
The Super Simple Ribbed Headband is just what is sounds like – a super simple headband pattern (perfect for a quick gift knit!) that consists of ribbed stitch pattern. I love the use of ribbing in my headband ear warmers, because I don’t have to worry about creating a perfect fitting size. The pattern is easy to customize in length – just knit it for as long as you want the width of the headband – make sure it is at least long enough to cover the ears.
This pattern comes with instructions to knit a double thick version as well as the single thick version. This pattern includes written and charted instructions. This pattern is knit in the round. All Snickerdoodle Knits patterns include linked video tutorials and clear, step-by-step instructions that have been test knit and professionally tech edited.
More information behind the design, the design inspiration, and alternative (affordable & hand-dyed) yarn options can be found on the Snickerdoodle Knits blog.

What is Being Made
The Super Simple Ribbed Headband is a beginner-friendly knitted ear warmer designed as a quick gift project. This headband features a classic ribbed stitch pattern and is sized to cover the ears comfortably. The pattern offers flexibility in customization, allowing knitters to adjust the length to achieve their desired width. Additionally, the pattern includes instructions for creating a double thick version for added warmth and durability.
Knitting Techniques
This headband project employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for beginners. The primary construction method relies on the ribbed stitch pattern, which creates vertical columns of texture that naturally provide stretch and recovery. The ribbing technique is particularly valued in headband construction because it eliminates the need for precise sizing calculations – the inherent elasticity of ribbed stitches accommodates various head sizes without requiring complex shaping or increases and decreases. Knitters can customize the finished width by simply adjusting the length of knitting, making this an ideal project for those new to pattern adaptation.
Stitches Used
- Ribbed Stitch: The primary stitch pattern throughout the headband, creating vertical texture and natural stretch
Materials
This pattern is designed to work with chunky weight yarn, which allows for faster project completion and creates a substantial, cozy headband. The pattern provides both written instructions and charted instructions, giving knitters flexibility in how they prefer to follow along. Appropriate knitting needles sized for chunky yarn are required, though specific needle sizes should be referenced within the full pattern documentation.
Pattern Format
The Super Simple Ribbed Headband is available as a downloadable PDF from Snickerdoodle Knits, featuring comprehensive written and charted instructions to accommodate different learning preferences.
