Most of you probably know I'm really in to knitting/crocheting, and I've done a few tutorials for my craft blog (also for crafting magazines). Eve suggested I so some tutorials for jewelry on AOU (after my Luna necklace), and even though this isn't jewelry, I thought it would be fun. :-)
BOW
(size 7 needles)co 13, k in seed st until piece measures 5 1/4 in.BOW BANDco 5, k in seed st until piece measures 2 1/2 in.
HEADBAND(size 10 needles)co 15, k every row for about 15 in (garter st stretches, but adjust to your head size)
Seed stitch is one of my favorites! It's such a unique pattern with a very simple repeat. k, p, k, p, k, p...
Fold the bow accordion style, sew through once to secure, then sew the band in the middle, leaving a tail.
Sew the bow to the headband (over your seam) and you're done!
ooooo so cute!
ReplyDeletethats really awesome! I know just a couple stitches in knitting, but seeing this kind of stuff always makes me want to learn more.

I NEEEEED THIS.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I always wear headbands, and the only one I keep wearing every single day is this plastic purple one with the paint chipping off. So I really have the urge to make this. I used to knit and love it, but then I quit, then I restarted, then I quit again.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, my knitting isn't that great (i know, practice makes better) and everything I knit has some sort of hole in it or one place isn't secure enough. And most of the time, I have to pull the yarn so it's loose enough for the knitting needles to go through and I hate doing that.
But maybe take knitting up again, since that headband looks awesome.
