My "Bookmark Headband" was a spontaneous creation born from the desire to tame my dreads on a "bad hair day". Incidentally, the rest of the day (after binding off) I was pretty stoked about how my hair looked!Yarn used: Ella Rae Classic; purple (039)

To attach button for fastening, use yarn tail to secure button on one end. Other end, use tail to create a small loop for button to fit thru.
Block lightly, or not.
Voila!
Voila!
I wish I had knitted when I had dreads. But alas.
ReplyDeleteI did crochet. And I did wear an awful lot of crocheted hats during that time period. Even more after I shaved it all off in a fit of pique at a bad hair day. ;)
