How much do you like DIY projects?
Do you search the web or blogs for DIY projects and head over to Michaels (or any craft store) during the weekend to gather supplies?
I have been finding myself doing a different DIY project every weekend and I have decided to add a new series to the blog called, DIY Fridays.
Supplies:
1. size 17# knitting needle (I used a 15# knitting needle)
2.1 skien of thick/bulky yarn (uses less then a skein)
* Note: You can use any weight yarn just change needle size and cast on more.
Directions:
Cast One 8 sts
Working seed stitch:
R1- K1, P1, across
R2- P1,K1, across
Repeat pattern until head band measures 18 1/2" or til it fits your head not to loose or too tight. (When I got about 15" I wrapped it around my head to see how much longer it needed to be..mine is was about 16 1/2".)
Then fasten off , twist piece, and sew ends together.
Pull tight to get the gathered effect.
Enjoy!
Materials:
(All from Michaels)
Yarn: Loops and Threads Cozy Wool $5
Needles: US #15 $7
TOTAL: $12
P.S. This project takes less than a hour (depending) to do and you have a good amount of yarn left over to make some head band turbans for your friends/family.
