Headbands all finished......
They were so easy to make and a great way of using up odds and ends of yarn. Also I know that if Nora loses hers at school it won't matter as they were not expensive to make.
When I was at The Knitting Basket on Thursday a lady saw what I was making and she wanted the "pattern" for them, and bought the same striped pink/grey yarn to make some for her grand children.
Who knew I was a knitting pattern designer😎 I did warn her how complicated the pattern was!!
For those of you who want the "knitting pattern," you can see it here.
My next knitted project a woolly hat to donate to dd for a charity fundraiser she is organizing for the United Way.

Easy Peasy Headband
All done and very happy with it.
There is really no pattern I just made it up. I wanted a light weight headband for the Fall. This is perfect for what I wanted.
Needles US 5/3.75 mm
Leftover yarn, mine was a baby type, so nice and soft. Any will do though, as gauge doesn't matter.
Cast on 28 stitches, and knit garter stitch (all knit........see told you it couldn't be simpler!!) until it measures around 18 inches; or goes around your head. Cast off.
Sew ends together.
Cast on 10 stitches and knit garter stitch until the piece measure the same as the height of the band. Sew the ends together making sure the headband is in between it, see picture above. I attached a couple of stitches to the actual headband so the "knot" stayed in the one place and I also made sure the "knot" covered where I had joined the ends of the headband together.
Not sure if any of that makes any sense at all? If not correct me or ask me for more details....LOL
