Product Description
Kyvannet (pronounced shee-vaneh) is a beautiful lake near my home in Norway. I love seeing it change throughout the seasons; my favourite place to swim in summer and ice-skate in winter.
Kyvannet is a beautifully intricate double-knit headband that allows you to transform your style with the changing seasons while staying warm throughout the year.
The pattern is elaborate enough to interest the seasoned knitter, while sporting a clean symmetry that will put beginner double knitters at ease. I hope it will bring some of the magic of Kyvannet into your life.

Happy Knitting ♥
Kyvannet Strand Headband by Stav Salpeter
What is Being Made
The Kyvannet Strand is a double-knit headband designed by independent designer Stav Salpeter. Inspired by Kyvannet, a scenic lake near Trondheim, Norway, this headband features an infinity motif that references the lake's dual origins as two smaller ponds that merged over time. The double-knit construction allows the wearer to reverse the headband to display different colorways, making it a versatile accessory suitable for year-round wear and seasonal style changes.
Techniques and Construction
This is an intermediate-level knitting project that employs double-knit technique as its primary construction method. Double-knitting creates a reversible fabric with two distinct sides, enabling wearers to alternate between different color patterns depending on the season or desired aesthetic. The infinity shape pattern is integrated into the knit structure itself, creating visual interest while maintaining the functional warmth needed for cold-weather wear.
Stitches Used
While specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the provided pattern information, the double-knit technique involves working multiple stitches in a coordinated manner to build the reversible fabric structure. The pattern creates an infinity motif through strategic stitch placement and color changes within the double-knit framework.

- Yarn Weight: 4-ply, DK (Double Knit), or Sport weight yarn
