DESCRIPTION

Hibernia was the name given by the ancient Romans to the island of Ireland, the land of winter. The Hibernia Quartet is a set of four DK-weight accessories rife with cables and ancient lore. The focal point of each of the patterns is an interlocking cable with a moss stitch center.

Hibernia Headband is worked sideways in flat starting with a provisional cast-on. At the center front the two halves meet in a twist and the central cable continues as a mirror image. The two ends of the headband are joined together seamlessly at the back of the head. The headband comes in two sizes; additional instructions are offered to adjust the size to your liking and measurements.

This pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for all cable patterns.
