Headbands are quickly becoming my favourite thing to knit. Not only are they quick, easy and look really cute but they are also a great handmade gift.
To make your very own headband you will need a chunky ball of wool, 8mm needles, scissors and a yarn needle.
First cast on 15 stitches, if you are using finer wool and smaller needles you will have to cast on more stitches.
And continue knitting in garter stitch for approximately 48 rows or until your headband fits around your head.
When fastening the two ends together turn your headband the wrong side up and blanket stitch the ends together.
To shape and finish I knitted a smaller rectangle 6x15 and wrap around the seam stitching in place to the back.alternatively you could knit small rectangles, leaving a long tail and wrap a single thread around the middle to make a bow. For a simpler style leave your headband as a band. Whichever decoration you choose, your headband is sure to keep your ears warm.
