A hairband, also known as a headband, is a simple and quick project that can be completed in just a few hours. Here's how to knit a basic hairband:Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn
- Size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Cast on 10 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method.
- Knit every row in garter stitch until the headband measures approximately 20-22 inches (51-56 cm) in length, or to a length that fits comfortably around your head.
- Bind off all stitches.
- Use scissors to cut the yarn, leaving a tail of several inches.
- Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and weave it in and out of the bound-off stitches to create a seam.
- Secure the end of the yarn by weaving it back through the seam, and then trim off any excess yarn.
