Twist Jacob Twist Headwarmer

4.00Au

This headwarmer uses the Jacobs Ladder technique although it is braided in a different manner to most typical ladders. The pattern is written with detailed instructions for a 4 cable width, but also has a guide to making a 3 cable width (see pictures of 3 cable width below). Removing one set of ladders will give a width of approx 4.5 inches/11.4cm.
