I have lots of yarn leftover from my sweater so I thought I would make a matching headband with the lace pattern. It was really easy and I knit it up in less than an hour. Here’s how I made it.
US 8/ 5 mm knitting needles. I used DPNs as straight needles
Worsted weight yarn
CO 11 sts.
Row 1: K3, K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, K3
Row 2 and 4: K2, P7, K2
Row 3: K2, K2tog, YO, K3, YO, SSK, K2
Repeat until headband is 16 inches long, or to fit snugly around your head. It should be noted that the lace pattern stretches quite a bit so make sure to keep it short. Use 3 needle Bind off or simply bind off and seam 2 ends together.
The sweater is just beautiful! You should be so proud! You are so very talented! I just love the picture of you nursing the lil one! So Precious!
I love your headband! So cute! If you ever feel like sending your knitting my way, go right ahead.
Hi Janelle,
I have just landed on your blog today and I am sorry for you that your last entry felt negative. I thought it was very honest and well worded. Actually I cannot believe people would ask you to knit for charity. Your time is very valuable. I am new to ravelry and feel like a kid in a candy shop. I am saving lots of patterns to the library but I doubt I will actually knit. But I find it helps me to get movtivated and usually steers me in my next project. I love reading the notes the designer has writtern as to what motivated the design. I have read some of your recent blogs and it does not seem like you are bragging at all. You are documenting life which is truly a gift. Reading anothers experience help me to validate my own experience and makes me realize how human we really are. Please continue your blog and continue to knit just for your family. Happy knitting!
Love the headband! Am about to try it out now! You are a very talented person who needs to know that you can do anything if you put your mind to it! I would love to see more patterns from you too!
I am looking forward to knitting the headband for three granddaughters. They have beeutiful long hair, and this seems so perfect for that. Thanks and I will be looking for more designs.
Thank you so much! This is wonderful, fun and pretty. I’m making it as a birthday trinket for a friend.
