Flowers in Her Hair

When I saw the adorable knit headbands at Never Not Knitting, I added the idea to my never-ending project list.

I don't have the published pattern so I just made up my own little pattern.  I used a much chunkier yarn and I'd love to try it again with a lighter weight, more delicate yarn {like the original}.  I knit a straight piece, in garter stitch, for the main band and attached three little rosettes.  {The girls may end up with a pile of similar headbands since this is such a great way to use all those leftover bits of yarn.}

I didn't want the band to tie at the base since those always end up coming untied so, after measuring Lila's head, I looped some elastic through the ends of the band and sewed them together with a zig-zag stitch, adding a little Fray Check so the ends won't unravel.

Lila loves the headband and wore it all morning ... the sign of knitting success.
