Easy knit hairband
I wanted to start a project that wouldn't take much time at all. It always feels great to complete anything, especially a knitting project! Also, something that is completely functional for everyday use! :)
When sleeping with my dearest hubby-to-be, stray hairs always irritate him! I knew I needed to get some hairbands but have been too broke to do so lately. No job and hubbs isn't getting too much work and barely any money lately! (Boo for the economy!!!) So I figured I could knit it since I have all this yarn lying around. Little did I know that even mommy-in-law-to-be wouldn't even notice that I made it! :D
So here's the pattern, pretty simple and easy to follow even if you do put it down.
Cast on 8 sts.
Knit 4 rows.
Start stockinette stitch
(Row 1:Knit Row 2:Purl)
Continue stockinette stitch until desired length.
Knit 4 rows.
Cast off.
Sew ends together.
If your knitting curls, don't fret! I ironed mine completely straight! :) Irons are such a wonderful invention. :D
I used my own head to figure out the length of my headband. As soon as I saw some length on my project, I wrapped it around my head and let it stretch until the ends touched together. Mine turned out a little big because it stretched more when I put it over my head and onto my neck. So next time I will definitely knit less than I did this time. Enjoy!
