Hi everyone! Brenna from BrennaAnnHandmade here, welcome to my 4th pattern / tutorial for Hobium. Today I’m going to show you how to make a textured, lightweight, knitted bow headband – absolutely perfect for spring! Let’s get started. 🙂

*Finished headband will fit an average women’s 21-22″ head circumference size.

Materials:

1 Skein Diva Natural Cotton

1 pair 5mm Prym Bamboo Straight Knitting Needles

A small Crochet Hook (For weaving in ends)

A Large Eye Tapestry Needle (For seaming headband)

Scissors

Abbreviations:

K – Knit

P – Purl

Directions:

 (Headband)

Step 1: cast on 10 stitches evenly onto one of the knitting needles, using the long-tail cast on method.

Step 2: (Row 1) K1, P1 across. Turn.

Step 3: (Rows 2-74) Repeat row 1

Step 4: (Row 75) Bind off in pattern & cut yarn, leaving an extra long tail (about 2 feet long) for sewing together headband & attaching the bow later.

(Bow)

Step 1: cast on 20 stitches evenly onto one of the knitting needles, using the long-tail cast on method.

(Following the same pattern as the headband above)

Step 2: (Row 1) K1, P1 across. Turn.

Step 3: (Rows 2-19) Repeat row 1

Step 4: (Row 20) Bind off in pattern & cut yarn. Weave in the ends using the small crochet hook.

(To Finish Headband)

Step 1: Using the extra long tail & tapestry needle, sew the two ends of the headband together. Remove tapestry needle, but do not cut yarn yet.

Step 2: Place the middle of the bow flat onto the seam of the headband, and cinch together in the middle to form the shape of the bow.

Step 7: Now use the long tail of remaining yarn to wrap around the middle (cinched part) of the bow until it is secure.

Step 8: Flip the bow to the back, then tie the 2 tail ends together and cut.

All finished!
