There are so many cute headbands around at the moment.
inspired by a bow headband that I found in one of those ‘oh so trendy’ shops which keep popping up around where I live, I took the design and went “I can totally recreate that!”
The original design looked something like 
So I took my Moda Vera Marvel in black and a set of 4.5mm needles.
Cast On 25 stiches.
Knit in sockinette stitch (knit all rows) until headband is the desired length. I knit mine to be 45 cms. Don’t forget it will stretch a bit.
Bind Off and then use the tail to mattress stich the two ends together in a loop.
To make the bow shape
Cast On 10 stiches
Knit in garter stitch (alternate knit and purl rows) until the piece measures 10 cms.
Bind Off and mattress stich the two ends of that piece together, around the join of the first loop. This creates the bow.
It’s a subtle headband, but very effective at keeping the ears warm.
Have fun!
