panta! (from a finnish pattern).

[Vampberry]

I found this on a brazillian website (actually this panta was the only pattern they had) and i loved it!
i don't really know what "panta" means.

Panta means headband in finnish

Okay! I was a bit confused by the pattern here so I rewrote it in a way that made a bit more sense to me (I used the pictures and the pattern to figure it out). I hope this'll help out others who might be confused. If you're not then not feel free to ignore it fully:

Keep the stuff about size 5 needles and corresponding yarn.

Measure your head where you want the headband to sit. Divide this number by 10. This is how long each section of the increases will be (so if your circumference is 20" then each section would be 2" -- except for section 5, which is twice as long). Wherever it says llama in the pattern you insert the length (in this case, where it says "llama" you would say "2 inches").

Bind off, sew ends together. Hope that works!

I also have an excel sheet that I can send to people who are more visually inclined. Or if there's a lot of interest I can try and post it. Somehow.

This is a great headband! I'm so excited to start it!

[tinytallgirl]

Could you email that xcel spread sheet to me?

[bronxie]

Awesome headband. My only dilemma is figuring out what color to make it.

[cqgirl]

This just got bumped up to the next project in line!! Thank you so much both Ilsa and Melosond for figuring out the pattern for all of us!! 

Has anyone else finished one yet?

I just finished the first section.

Hi all, slight modification to my pattern:

I would leave off the first and last stitch (so instead of ending on a k1 or p1 end on a k2 or p2) it makes the edges rounder. But please do play around with it and see what you guys can do! I'd love to hear suggestions!

Am on section 2, and in the mountains with my folks so I'm hoping it goes quickly!

Looks awesome! Definitely on my winter accessories list.
