Free Pattern to Make a Knitted Hair Band or Fascinator

This post has been keyworded under:
Knitted Hair Band or Fascinator

Utilising the tube property of i-cord I thought I would cover a hair band with it. I used hair bands made of metal, you could use plastic but metal is more durable.

On two dpns size 2.25 mm (size 13 UK, size 1 US) and Double Knitting yarn cast on four stitches, leaving a 15 cm (6") length of yarn at the beggining. 

Knit a length of i-cord long enough to cover the hair band.

Once the required length is achieved, slip the i-cord tube over the length of the hair band, keeping the four stitches on the needle.

Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 15 cm (6'').

Thread a large needle with the cut length of yarn, thread it through the four stitches pulling them closed.

To secure both ends and to prevent the ends poking through the knitting, wrap the yarn tightly around the ends a few times then securely fastened off.

You could leave the band plain or decorate it with lots of crochet flowers  or flowers made from a flower loom

If you want to, try Flowers from i-cord/French knitting they are very simple to make.

can you also please show me how you made the pink flowers. Thank you!

Can you please show me how to make a knitted flower that would suit this. I am a beginner and i do not know how to do any stiches other than the knit stich (I have no idea what you call it). So if you can help me I would be really thankful. This headband was really helpful. Thank you so much!

How do you make the white flower with the spool?

Hi, the white flowers are made with a flower loom, you can find out what they look like

how to use a flower loom 

I must say that these patterns for headbands are adorable. I am a beginner at knitting and even I could do these. Tonight I am going to use this pattern for a flower on a hat and headband for a babyshower that I am attending. I am so excited to see how it turns out! Thank you for sharing :)

I was so excited to see your daisies! I found a daisy loom in a thrift shop recently and I've had so much fun making them!

These are great - I must really find my knitting needles. :)
