It's chilly here, chilly enough to pull out coats, hats, and scarves. Last night I got a little obsessed with warmth (I've been wearing 2 pairs of socks this week). I made a prototype I guess of my own headband/earwarmer. It's nice, cute, but needs tweaking. I made it on circs and am now debating changing how I did it to accommodate some things I don't like. Needless to say I'll try other varieties, (I do finally have calorimetry in my queue) but I want to finish my own first. One other thing I would change is using wool instead of acrylic. There's just something too lightweight about it.
Ok, tried again and much better fitting. End result is about 21", but I haven't measured the gauge yet.
I used 2 yarns, both red heart super saver. The Main Color is Country Rose, CC is Med Thyme.
I did a CO of 80 with the MC and knit for 5 rows
Beg with a purl row, do stock st for 3 rows
Change to CC and continue stock for 6 more rows
Change back to MC and cont for 3 more rows
Next row, BO 10, purl across
Next row, BO 10, knit across
Bind Off, weave in ends and seam.
If you're concerned about size you could add I cord, CO additional stitches, or do another closure.
