Description:

A headband is a stylish, convenient and practical accessory. If your little girl doesn’t like wearing hats, such a headband can be a great alternative with onset of cold weather. It is very easy and fast to knit it. And just a little yarn is needed, so you can use a small reel, which is left from the previous works. This headband will not only keep the little ears warm, but will also become a wonderful adornment for a small princess.

Judy Li: The flower is very beautiful. Row 11 of the K5tog1 should be K7tog1, or, the final count of stitches will be off.

Frankie: What was the name of the yarn used to knit this headband
LikeReply3 years ago
admin: Hello Frankie. Unfortunately I don't remember the name because I knitted this headband a few years ago. But the description contains the composition and the length of the yarn, so I hope you can find something suitable.

Jlgoody: Hello, I’m not sure what the “ self/selvage” means in the pattern. Could you tell me how this is worked please? Thanks😊

Olivia Craftox: Hello Jlgoody, The selvage stitches are the first stitch and the last stitch of each row. When you turn the work at the end of a row, the last stitch of the previous row becomes the first stitch of the new row. In this particular pattern, I used slip stitched chain edges. Slip off the first stitch of each row, finish with purl last.
