How to Knit a Twisted Headband

how to knit a twisted headband

Hi dear friends! I hope you are doing fine!

I have a very simple tutorial for your today. It’s an easy knit twisted headband.

And it’s easier to make than you’d ever think.

This is how…

 

 

Using a simple rib stitch (knit one, purl one), you knit a piece of fabric that wraps around your head comfortably, covering your ears.

I worked with worsted weight yarn (Aran), cast on 32 stitches and used 5 mm knitting needles.

After casting off, fold both ends in half.

Then move both folded end close together so that they are kind of hugging each other.

Finally, using a yarn tail and tapestry needle, seam the edges together.

Well, that’s easy, right?

I love wearing these headbands. And I am quite addicted to making them.

Sending lots of love,

Hi friends! How are you doing?

Me and my son have been making Christmas ornaments over here. And we’d sure love to share.

They are really easy and a lot of.

I think there’s just something really special about making handmade ornaments?

All you need is some air dry clay, a rolling pin, a couple of Christmas cookie cutters, a straw, a few interestingly textured items to give your ornaments some lovely festive patterns, brush and watercolors and some yarn. That’s it.

To make our ornaments, we first rolled our clay into about 3 mm thickness.

We used our cutters to cut out various shapes.

We used a fir tree branch and a rolling print to make a fun imprint.

We also used a piece of burlap ribbon to make a pattern.

To make sure we’ll be able to hang our ornaments, we made holes in them using a straw.

We let the ornaments dry for a day or two. And then we painted them.

Finally we added festive pieces of yarn to be able to hang our ornaments.

Easy and fun.

We are wishing you the best Holiday Season!

We love you,
