Sharing buttons:
if you want to make this version then
click here for this bow headband are
four different sizes baby to adult in
this video I'm making the adult pattern
so if you want to make one of the other
sizes then you need to download the
written pattern I put the link
underneath this videos will click on it
and download it and follow along with me
the materials that you need are size
three or four light worsted weight yarn
if it's on the thinner side then hold
the yarn table if it's not then just use
one strand of yarn size us eight
straight knitting needles and a tapestry
needle to sew and weave your ends okay
so I'm holding my yarn double because
I'm using worsted weight yarn if you're
using chunky then you don't have to now
we're going to cast on so I leave a long
tail and I make the Slipknot so I just
crossed my yarn and I grab the one
underneath and I pull now we have a hole
and I get my yarn
okay and now we're going to cast on so
this counts as one so I hold it put my
next finger and thumb and I pull my yarn
apart and hold it with my other fingers
then I come over and I pick this one up
but on this side and go through okay
even again pick it up bring it around
and go in the middle the night at all
now we have three okay are you just keep
doing that till you have 18 stitches now
that I have 18 I turn to my work over
and I slip the first stitch
and then I go throw the front in the
back of the next stitch make sure you
have your working yarn and not your tail
and bring your yarn around
counterclockwise throw it up and then
take it off
so from front to back your yarn over and
around
just like that
okay let me turn it over and then we do
it again slip our first stitch and then
come in it our second one and all the
rest of them and then you just keep
doing this until it's your desired link
you can measure child's head just be
aware that it stretches a little bit so
you might want to make it smaller than
your head
I like an image as the Garter stitch
makes it stretch I here are some
measurements if you are unsure how long
you need to make it all right there you
go
this is how you make the headband part
all right this is all mine looks like it
is 17 inches long unstretched okay so
now we need to bind off and my tail end
is on the left side so your should be 2
if you want it to look nice in the front
on the top and bottom edge so to find
off you first knit two
then you grab your first stitch you pull
it over your second one and off the
needle now we need a net another one
because we need two stitches on the
right needle and we pick up our first
stitch pull it over suck it and off the
needle
all right so do this all the way to the
end
okay and then I just pull this out
enough for me to weave the ends get my
scissors and then I pull off the rest of
the yarn there we go
you
you
okay after you sew your headband
together now we need to make the bow so
is the exact same thing you cast on 18
stitches I made find six inches long and
18 ridges alright so this is how we bind
off our bow we knit two and then we grab
our first stitch we bring it on top of
our second over it and off of our needle
now we need another stitch so let's knit
the next one and do the same thing in
our first stitch and bring it over
just like that
okay
all the way to the end so I'm left with
one stitch on my needle and I cut it
then I pull the yarn through and there
you go
now we have our bow let's weave in our
ends so I have my yarn a tapestry needle
and what you do is go through your
stitches
you
okay and then I go back through
different stitches and kind of make sure
it's hidden and then you cut okay do it
on this side now all right so I need my
bow eight inches now we need to make the
loop so to make the loop we're going to
cast on eight
and I am only using one strand you can
use both if you want but it just doesn't
need to be thick
knit four five inches and bind off
okay so put your bow on top of your
headband where the two ends meet wrap
your loop around them like this and sew
your loop ends together and you're done
