Horizontal Herringbone Stitch Easy Headband

Yay a knitting post!!! I have made lots of little stufflately but I keep forgetting to take pictures of it before I give it away forChristmas. I really love this headband I kind of (really) want to keep it…

I had some left over yarn from some thrummed mittens. It was malabrigio worsted, lime blue.

It’s super easy:

Just cast on 18 stitches. Or any multiple of 2.

Work in horizontal herringbone stitch until desired length.

Merino wool stretches a bit so I made my headband a bittight.

Block the headband before seaming.

Seam the ends together using invisible vertical seam stitch.

Then cut a super long tail and wrap it a million timesaround your seam edge.

Tie in your ends.

Give as a last minute Christmas present. Or keep it for yourlovely self.

Random side note:
I REALLY want to make these!
