bow headband

[rooftopscandal.livejournal.com]

I have been seeing cute, bow headbands all over. From forever 21 to ravelry. So this is my version. I've never done short rows before (besides sock heels) and wanted to test them out.


It was great train knitting. Unfortunately, amtrack took my size 6 16" circulars as a sacrifice somewhere along the trip so I ended up using my size 8's the whole time. I would have used the 6's for the ribbing had I had them.

This bow is also a little different from the common knit-bow you see. I always wondered why they never had the tails, so I made a quick pattern that had all parts of the bow. It could have used blocking, but I don't have any pins at college. I kind of like the curly-ness anyway.
