Pattern: My own design
Yarn: odds and ends of stash, with some nameless black merino for the headband
Needles: 3.25 mm
Notes: I love headbands, and was a bit sad that I didn't have a knitted one. Since I have kind of a small head, and straight, fine hair, the wider knitted headbands I've seen sort of.... devour my head (and make me look 12 years old). I wanted something really small, a knitted one I could wear any time, any season.
The basic headband is extremely quick and easy, beginning with an i cord tie at one end, then increasing for the headband, then decreasing for the second i cord. it could be embroidered any way you wish, or knit plain in a lovely variegated yarn. I think in a variegated yarn, moss stitch would be an awesome choice for the headband. I've thought about writing up a really quick pattern, but it seems so small, I wasn't sure there would be much interest. If anyone would like the pattern, please let me know.
For Christmas, my wonderful husband got me the Dipped Infinity Scarf Kit, and I am in love! Check out the progress so far:

what a gorgeous scarf! I love the knit headband - I wear alot of those too just not knitting. I would worry that they would stretch out!
I love headbands too. I think they are a delightful way to add interest to any outfit :) and yours is adorable!
I often wear my bow-tie scarf as a headband..LOL! Love it though. Happy New Year!
I love this idea! Yours looks so cute. That scarf is going to be beautiful too.
Your headband is oh so cute! And I love the colours of your infinity scarf (what a great gift from your husband).
That headband is adorable!!
Super cute headband. I'll have to try that, since most commercial headbands don't stay on my head either.
Very sweet headband!
I am SO jealous about the dipped infinity scarf!! Can't wait to see how all the colors turn out. Happy New year!
I love the headband! Beautiful and something I would wear.
Both the headband and the scarf are very, very pretty!
The headband looks pretty on you. What a lovely creation!
You're the lucky person who got the beautiful scarf kit from your hubby. Love the colour! Can't wait to see the finished!
Oh, I love that scarf. And that headband.
That is so, so, so cute. And your embroidery skills are awesome!
The headband is really pretty! What a nice husband you have ;-) Happy Year 2010!
Your headband is so pretty! It looks like you are really good at embroidery. Those flowers are cute. Nice little project.
So beautiful - I love that scarf, and can't wait to see it progress.
What an adorable headband! I wish I didn't suck at embroidery. :P
That scarf is gorgeous - it's almost iridescent!
What a sweet headband! It reminds me of the fleur des alpes, the little blue flowers that decorate a lot of swiss kitsch. Only your flowers aren't kitschy.
I would love the pattern, but knit headbands tend to slide off my head. Do you have that problem too?
The headband is so cute! I love it! And the colors of your scarf are gorgeous - can't wait to see it finished. :)
The headband is adorable! Love it and the yarn for that scarf. Wow.
headband=so cute! i'm tempted, but i think that putting a bulky headband in my bulky hair may not equal adorable... can't wait to see the scarf!
