  2. I have made many of your projects and they all turn out so nice. I make the headbands in all different colours for a four year old and her only issue with them is what one will I wear today.

  3. Hi. Marianna, just wondering, do I cast off the headband in knit stitch or follow the 2 plain, 2 purl rib pattern? Thanks, Sabrina
