Making Headbands



A new, quick & easy knitting fix...HEAD BANDS! Love them & Maddie got a matching one for her sweater, I'm finally accepting the sweater as complete!! even though the perfectionist in me can't get over trying to alter the width!
For any knitters that may read my blog here's my headband version:
US 7 DPN or US 7 Circs., US 9 straight needles
Cast on 4, K an icord for 2"
Next row, M1 (KFB), now you have 8 St.
Knit St St for 2"
Change needles US 9, Knit every row (garter st) for 8" or larger, depending on the lenght you desire.
Change needles to US 7, St St., knit, purl for 2"
Decrease, Purl every 2 st together, you have 4 st.
Icord for 2"..leave tail & weave in & sew two sides together.
