I know, I know, the photo is sideways. It is just that it has been so long since I posted and I knit this head band about a month ago!! I did my best to rotate it but no luck.
I used the left over Nuna from Mirasol that I used for the red gloves (which I am wearing everyday now that it is getting chilly). This was a one night knit.
I changed the sequence of this pattern. The instructions call for casting on in the centre front of the pattern and knitting down one side and then picking up stitches on the cast on and knitting down the other side. I just started at the one end and knit all the way to the buttonhole end.
I found it curious that in order to have the two ends symmetrical and using only decreases on the sides that you would have a weird ridge in the centre front. Why wouldn't you at least have a provisional cast on to disguise the restart?
Oh well, a delightful stitch pattern and I can see using it again some time as a cuff on sleeves. As a headband it would be great to put beads in the yarn overs for a much snazzier look. Really I thought I would be giving this little knitbit away but I have been making it a coordinated 60's look with the headband and the gloves.
OK that fries it! I just lost the photo altogether. I will include with the next post.
