Inca Diamond Motif Headband

This is a perfect project for the novice knitter starting to experiment with variations on the knit and purl theme. The diamond shape makes a decorative and textured pattern and although it looks impressive, is actually easy to do.  Although the pattern is written out in full, there is also a chart, so the Inca Headband is a great way to learn to use charts.
