About the Free Knit Headband
This free knit headband pattern is designed to practice wrap and turn short rows. It is knit in the round and fits most heads from big kids to adults. You’ll want to make sure and use a yarn with plenty of elasticity so it snaps back into shape instead of stretching out after wearing.
The short row shaping in this headband makes the top wider than the bottom. This shape makes it comfortable to wear and helps it stay in place.
This is one of my older patterns. I’ve been on a hair accessories kick lately, though. You may want to see my ear warmer headband, scrunchies, and hair ties knitting tutorials.
