Spool-Knit Headband






Remember learning how to do this when we were children? I remember making my own spool out of an empty spool of thread, with nails for the prongs (hopefully, in 2nd grade, they didn't make us hammer our own nails into the spool). I decided today to make some headbands I can wear in my unruly hair - I just make three knit tubes, about 23" long each. Then tie them together and braid. Easy!

That's a really neat idea! I never did use those as a kid. My older cousins remember our grandma teacing them, but I never learned. I do have to tool, though. The headband is a really good idea. I might have to pull out some yarn and learn how! Thanks for the idea. So neat!

Thanks! I am making more using Lily's Sugar 'n' Cream yarn. I think it will be great to give one to each of my nieces.
