A Flower Headband is super-cute, right?
Just in time for spring Denice Johnson has created the Quick Knit Flower Headband using her Small Quick Knit Flower pattern. We are re-publishing with additional steps to make this cute Quick Knit Flower Headband . Thanks Denice! -Kristen Mangus
Quick Knit Flower Headband
Designed by Denice Johnson
The Quick Knit Flower Headband is another cute way to use the Small Quick Knit Flower
Knitting Loom:
12 peg round loom
Yarn:
medium weight in any colour
Notions:
knitting tool, tapestry needle, accent button
Abbreviations:
K-Knit stitch (Use flat or u-knit stitch)
Pattern note:
use one strand throughout the entire project; pattern is worked in the round
Techniques:
Gathered Bind Off
Instructions:
Make a total of 5 flowers
Drawstring cast on 12 pegs, work in the round
Rounds 1-5: knit to the end of round
Round 6: knit peg 1, knit peg 2, place the stitch from peg 2 on peg 1 and knit over
place yarn over peg 2, knit peg 3, knit peg 4, place the stitch from peg 4 on
peg 3 knit over. Repeat for the remainder of the row.
Rounds 7-11: knit to the end of round
Finishing:
Using gathered bind off, bind off all pegs.
Give the flower a little tug at picot edges.
Choose which side will be face side up and tie ends on opposite end. Leave a 4″ tail for tying onto band.
Make an i-cord on two pegs using one strand of yarn work for 30″or desired length. Knot ends of cord but do not attach ends to each other. You will be tying i-cord in a bow as you wear it.
Tie on the five flowers to the i-cord starting 3rd flower in the center of the cord and place 2 flowers on either side evenly.
Sew on accent buttons as desired.
(Note from Kristen, start and finish i-cord with a button or an extra flower so when the string dangles it’s decorative; make i-cord longer for longer hair as needed or desired)
We hope you enjoyed the Quick Knit Flower Headband for the loom. Be sure to post a photo on social media and tag @GoodKnitKisses to spread the loomy love!
Happy Looming!! -Kristen
Alternate Quick Knit Flower
Change to video: Cast on 12 pegs instead of 24; knit 5 rows instead of 6; work row 6 like row 7 in video; knit 5 more rows not 6. Video does not include how to make the smaller version or i-cord.
