Here’s what you’ll need:
- 64 yards of super bulky/#6 yarn (I used Hometown by Lion Brand in “Key Largo Tweed”)
- US 13 9.0mm straight knitting needles
- Tape measure
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Sizing:
- 4 inches wide
- 20 inch circumference
Here’s how to make it!
- Cast on 10 stitches.
- Row 1: Knit all stitches.
- Repeat row 1 for about 20 inches (or what fits best for you).
- Bind off all stitches, leaving a long tail for seaming.
- To seam the headband, bring the two ends together and fold them both in half to make a “c” shape with each ends. Bring them together, interlocking them. Sew all layers of the “sandwich” using the tail. Secure with a strong knot and weave in any ends.
- Turn headband right side out and straighten and neaten it up.
- Now your knit twist top headband is ready to wear!
