For this project, you will need:
- 40 yards of bulky yarn (Sample uses Bernat Softee Chunky in "Teal")
- a 36 peg round loom with a gauge of 3/4"
- your favorite loom hook
- a tapestry or yarn needle to do the super stretchy bind off
- a crochet hook to weave in ends
Let's get started!
Step 1: Double e-wrap cast on the loom (as shown in this video).
Step 2: Purl one row.
Step 3: E-wrap one row.
Step 4: Purl one row.
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3-4 eight times.
Step 6: Bind off using this super stretchy bind off.
- Since this item is done in the round, you will follow the bind off above but continue in the round. When you reach the end/beginning of your loom, after you bring the yarn up thru peg one and down on the last peg, bring the yarn up thru peg one again. Then you will remove your headband from the loom.
Step 7: Weave in the yarn tails from your cast on and bind off.
Your headband is now complete!
The headband measures 4 inches wide (some yarn results in a 3.5 inch wide headband) with a circumference of 18 inches and likely will fit older children thru most adults.
As always, feel free to experiment with your own project. You are more than welcome to leave a comment with a photo of your finished headband.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.
Thanks for reading, and have a terrific day!
