How to Knit a Thin Headband
Headbands are quick and easy to knit. Instead of spending money purchasing an expensive headband at the store, knit your own customized design. Headbands can be knit using any style or texture of yarn you desire and offer a way to use up leftover scraps of yarn. This is an appropriate pattern for beginner knitters because sizing and gauge are not crucial for this project. After working through this basic pattern, experiment with adding cables, seed stitch or fair isle knitting.
