Knitting your own headband can be a great way to add a personal touch to your winter accessories collection. This headband is not only stylish but also easy to make, even for beginners. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a simple double knitted single ball headband that is seamless.Materials Required:
- 1 ball of bulky weight yarn
- Knitting needles size 8 mm
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Cast On Stitches Begin by casting on 14 stitches onto your knitting needle.
- Knit Rows in Double Knitting The headband will be made using the double knitting technique. Double knitting means knitting a reversible fabric that has two right sides. To start, hold the yarn in front of the work, slip the first stitch purl-wise, and knit the second stitch. Repeat this process till the end of the row.
- Shaping the Headband To shape the headband, you will need to decrease stitches on one end and increase stitches on the other. Start by decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row till you have only one stitch left on the needle. Cut the yarn and weave in the end.
- Bind Off Stitches Once the headband is complete, bind off the stitches and cut the yarn. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
- Seam the Two Ends Together To seam the two ends of the headband together, fold it in half with the wrong sides facing each other. Line up the two edges and use a tapestry needle to seam them together using the mattress stitch. Once you reach the end, weave in any loose ends.
- Final Touches Once the headband is seamed together, try it on to make sure it fits comfortably. You can add a decorative element like a bow or a button to the seam to add some flair to your headband.
