Tensegrity Headband Knitting Pattern

I’ve been knitting this pattern for years, as a sister pattern to my Campground Hat, which also features triangles stacked in a different arrangement. I haven’t taken the time to give this pattern the attention it’s due until now. My son, an engineering major, took one look at the sample I had made and said it should be called Tensegrity, which is an architectural term that has to do with stacking and compression.

For this pattern I used part of the colorwork motif from my Tensegrity hat and cowl. This pattern is written in 2 sizes: adult small/medium and large-xxl but could easily be adapted for additional smaller or larger sizes. The pattern uses two or three colors of Super Bulky yarn.

I have fallen in love with wearing knit headbands, especially on the cusp of winter. Headbands are the BEST- I don't have to take down my hair or undo my messy bun, I can just pull the headband on and off easily. Plus, it keeps me warm while hiking or snowshoeing.

I hope you enjoy knitting this headband and it keeps you cozy on all of your cold weather adventures. Yarn for this pattern and more is available at: www.northroadknits.com
