A simple headband/earwarmer flat knitting version

As you know its been quite some time sense my last post. ive been meaning to post for a while but with deer hunting week in full swing i didnt have any time to get much done, they job i work at requires me to work with firearms paperwork so as you can imagine i was quite busy. I do however have an update on a project ive been working on brought to you and me from another blogger the name of her blog is devin likes to knit go here to see the pattern i had used for my project. the project i did was a simple headbead, flat knit, with a flower (or without if u choose, but i decided id give it a shot) theres and adult and childs version in the pattern picture she tells ya she withheld the garter stitch rows the pattern called for, either way i think it looks great. for my headband i used a size 8 needle, which is what devin used in her pattern. and for my yar a used a lighter weight dark purple color, because it was my first time attempting the pattern so i wanted to see how it would come out. my next headband i was goin to use a heavier yarn. anyways back to the project!

so i have the items all knitted out i have assembled the the headband and fit it to my head and i have my flower knitted. For the flower i had gone to her in the round knitted headband because in the comment section she had listed a few flowers for the crotchet person and a few for the knitted person because the flower pattern attached to that one was no longer available. for the link to the flower i used go here. i however changed the pattern a bit because i hate to say it....but i thought it was a bit ugly for my taste, i would of probably stuck to the original pattern in a smaller gauge and i would of liked it but i didnt have all my needles, so to the creator of that im sorry if theres any offense...

moving on ....

what that pattern calls for is you basically make 6 petals and sew them together to make the complete flower...i omitted 1 petal and went with five, in a larger gauge needle and knitted tem shorter for more curl, and they way that came out i absolutely love!!! so without that original pattern i could not of come up with the flower i knitted so kudos all around. at this stage in my project i just have to put the flower on the headband and presto flower headband! i however am going to do one more thing to it before had so once im completely done i will post the completely complete project. i have a few pictures i will be attaching so watch for those. ive rambled on long enough...Until Next Post
